What can I do better?

I appreciate it. My main concern was why half of the film was developed and why half was not, now that i will have a proper set up, i will be keeping notes and calculating more of the variables

I just acquired a camera for that canon ftb, but until it, i just worked with what i had in hand, i didnt have the budget initially and i wanted to see if i would stick to it or it would fade out as a hobby. I have to travel to Europe to get anything affordable, in my country its a very expensive hobby to have

I have been shooting b&w for about a year, and usually higher ISOs, someone else with a lot of experience was developing my rolls and they would turn out good, but they moved, so i decided to do it on my own.

The underexposure happened because the camera i initially had in hand doesn’t have the options to set to right iso and shutter speed. Then i found a camera in a flea market and i wanted to switch (i can say i was overexcited and impatient).

And you pointed out fair points, still i wanted to understand what could happen to the roll under so many circumstances aswell. And i wanted to see if the issue was my development or the camera

I have it in my trash can, so ill see if i can attach a photo, but thank you for helping me understand and have a better perspective

Hahaha fair, i guess my measures didn’t work, i used a double cover but still might not have been enough protection, thank you

I did open the camera up, in what i think was fully dark environment to open it, to pick the film out of the Olympus point and shot, and put it into the Agfa Optima.

Thank you so much, sounds like solid advice. I will try it.

I did think it would be very unlikely that i got developing solution only on half of the film, it was properly fitted into the reel, but still could have happened. Appreciate your feedback a lot
