Response to Exposure with Oldies

from John Lehman (ffjal@aurora.alaska.edu)
The difference between ISO 100 and 125 (1/3 stop) on black and white film would only be noticible for deep shadow details if you were underexposing (and using a spot meter, had done all of the zone- system testing, and were holding your development to +/- 1 degree, ....). Since you are over-exposing (and from the sounds of it, guesstimating exposure), it will disappear into the noise.

From experience with several old Zeiss folders, your shutter speed is likely to be a bit slow (altho I bought a beater 1934 Super Ikonta C which was within 1/3 stop at all speeds).
