I have some similar 800ASA (for Cath's Espio 140 [f10!!]) which I cannot get to expose properly. It always turns out muddy, even when I've tried it in another machine with a bit of overexposure.
Is it a house brand? A lot of them use Ferenia (3M) which I don't think is as good as the 800 speed film from the other "big four" manufacturers. Also, if you're talking about the prints looking muddy, a lot of labs don't know the little tricks to determine what channel to print it on, so when they come up with a house brand film with a new ID code they will either guess, print on whatever channel the last roll was, or print on a generic "mix" channel. The worst is the (processed) film with no bar codes, brand, or speed marked on it. Luckily, that is usually only on no name recycled (reloaded) one time use cameras.
I meant to say that it is Konica Centurion but 800ASA.
Thanks for the process info.; that might come in handy if I ever use the rest of it.
