Thanks, John! I did notice that difference just after I sent this
message last night.
I do believe the camera shop where I bought the film will develop it --
for how much, I don't know. It may be all for naught, though,
considering the film appears to be a year out-of-date. I'll give it a
shot and see, though.
Thanks for the heads-up, nonetheless!
Best,
Walt

So, I now have this K1000 and a decent array of lenses to use on it.
Having finally figured out how to properly operate the camera after
wasting one roll of Fuji Superia X-tra 400 due to the fact that I opened
the back of the camera prematurely thinking I had it completely wound
(didn't realize I had to press the button on the bottom plate), and
nearly wasting a roll of Kodak Plus-X 125 by not properly affixing it to
the advance mechanism (didn't securely set the notches onto the teeth),
I think it's time I ask for a little guidance before I proceed any
further.
I have three different types of film and thought I'd ask the experienced
film shooters if there's anything I can do to get better images out of
them -- any quirks or characteristics I should be mindful of, or
specific uses or conditions any of them particularly excel at. I have
the following:
2 rolls Plus-X 125
3 rolls BW400CN
4 rolls UltraMax 400
What do I need to know from here?
The Plus-X is a traditional B&W film.
The BW400CN & UltraMax 400 are Process C-41 (color negative like from
a one hour mini-lab).
If you take the Plus-X to a mini-lab it will mess up the film.
Same thing if you try to develop the other two using traditional B&W
chemistry.
