I admit, I had to look for what dense, muddy, grainy, overall unsharpen negatives could mean. Quite a rare occasion to enjoy some wonderful white landscapes there ruined by a sloppy metering and lack of common sense. A good reminding that no matter how simple the discipline, try to overcome the most basic rules in pure know-it-all fashion and most often than not, you’re sold, and left with a handful of mostly unscaneable images (let’s see what comes out from the enlarger…)
I think it won’t be too difficult to manage those in the darkroom, but I haven’t seen the negs.
I hope I’ll be able to tell you shortly
It happened to me recently too. The negs ended up very hard to scan.
