Why pics underexposed

T400CN exposed in a Contax Camera is awesome. But you need to rate it at 100 or leave the auto ISO on and over expose by 2 stops. The latitude will cover anything and give you great negatives with outstanding shadow detail. I am prinitng right now a neg. I shot in a cave in the Canyon De Chelly 30 minutes after sundown. Exposure was for 4 minutes. Fantastic.

I would suggest if your prints didn't come back useful to print them yourself. But they should have given you great prints even if printed in a Noritzu minilab.
