I'm going to talk to Peak Imaging tomorrow, I had a chemical burn on my last 120 as well, and see if the auto corrections have done something funky to the flash pictures. I used the same settings of f8 and 1/250 with and without flash (i.e. metered for ambient), on auto it should have been f4 so I should be getting 1/4 of the flash power. The no-flash ones are fine.

Well, some people say if you get one keeper off a roll then that's normal. I'm generally better than that, at least so far, though I didn't feel terribly inspired lately, maybe that's what come of having too many films on the go at once! I'm disappointed about the B&W from the Certo, I've looked again at the camera and I can't see anything wrong with it. The last few pics, which were lost, were probably the ones I wanted to see the most. Anyhoo I've looked at them all again, the Konica looks good, the parallax correction needs adjustment or understanding below about 1.5m, but it's a good camera and the meter is working well. So worth the 8 months to fix it!
