Hello folks,
I have recently used a roll of TMax100 in my Zorki 4K, in combination with a Jupiter 8 and Jupiter 12. This is the first time I have used this camera and lens combination, so I checked the rangefinder focussing prior to use.
At the same time I decided to experiment with 'meter-less' use, employing the exposure calculater from here:

Prior to using this exposure calculator in anger, I have been guessing exposures and checking with my Weston Master Meter, and am reasonably confident of being within one stop.
After finishing the film, I got it developed and printed whilst on holiday - because I was eager to see the results. To say that they were disappointing would be an understatement. All of the prints lack contrast and sharpness - attached is an example, scanned on my Scan Dual II without adjustment. I also noticed that the negatives all display a magenta tinge, which another search here seemed to suggest a processing problem.
Any guesses as to the cause or should I go ahead and try again with XP2 (my most used film so far) to check again?
Best regards,
