• I've not had an XA2 in about fifteen years but I picked one up recently for cheap and just put a roll of porta 400 through as a test. Some of the photos here... everything looking a bit under developed and I'm not sure why... old film perhaps that's not been well stored or just the dank cornish winter light and lack of any flash...

    ..looks to me like these were shot underexposed.

    Assuming the ISO was set correctly on the camera my first guess would be there's something wrong with the meter 🫤

    Film being old or badly stored (was it?) could also contribute to the problem, although that usually leads to dull / shifted colours rather than that grainy / frosted appearance you see here.

    It's not the dank winter or lack of flash (the camera should still have exposed correctly no matter the weather, or whether you've used a flash or not).
