Surprising Results from a Film Photography Fail: Ektar 100 Shot 2 Stops Underexposed | Minolta X-700

Every film photographer’s worst nightmare—discovering the fact that you shot an entire roll of film at the wrong ISO! That’s exactly what happened here. I loaded a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 into my Minolta X-700, but mistakenly shot it at ISO 400.

In this video, I share the results of this rookie mistake. You can see how it affected the colors and tones of my images. While it’s not the usual palette of my photography, I have to admit—I kinda like the results! The unexpected tones brought something unique to this series of shots, and I’d love to hear what you think about them.

For each shot, I’ve included not just the detailed exposure settings (aperture and shutter speed) but also the specific lens I used. I alternated between Minolta MD 50mm f/1.7, Minolta MD 28mm f/2.8, and Minolta MD Tele Rokkor 135mm f/3.5 to explore how each lens handled the lighting and composition.
