Thanks for the tips, David!
As for prints from the 400CN, I'll probably just have negatives made,
then scan them at home. Any prints will come from the digital scans,
which I assume will help produce less-funky results.
I've looked around Flickr at scans made from UltraMax and, from what I
can tell, it produces some nice photos with pretty saturated colors,
which is what I like when shooting color -- particularly birds and
butterflies. I'm curious to see how much luck I'll have catching birds
in-flight on film. I suspect I'll get a lot of disastrous results, but
the odd success will be awfully gratifying.
Thanks again!

Walt. One trick i used in making sure the film had been grabbed by the
teeth was to watch the the rewind knob. If it turned will i advanced
the film lever, all was well.
The other thing i did was after the film was loaded and i advance to
the "0" mark, was to do a short rewind to pick up any slack in the
film. Just needed to bring it back ever so lightly though.
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
Never used it.
3 rolls BW400CN
Used it some what. The local lab would process it and print out my 4x6
proofs on colour paper. Got some funky images that way.
4 rolls UltraMax 400
Again, never used it.
Dave
What do I need to know from here?
Thanks!
