I have only ever experienced high quality here, Japan so much different to UK for customer services.

Sekonic have come back with answers - an optical portion is broken and the wire for switching measurement mode (Incident / Reflective) was also broken.

Cost is only ￥9500 about £65 so in the end...

I removed and changed the lumisphere to a viewfinder. This changes it from an incident into a Reflective light meter. The EV numbers were coming out at 3,4 or 5 at most

Yes saw that it might be that but unfortunately didn't change, I have sent off now though. Thanks Andy

Thank you, yes very strange. I have spoken with Sekonic and they will check and repair, mind you in Japan repair will be half of a cost of a new one.

attached now two of the negatives showing the good and failure. Thank you

Thank you all for your replies which all very helpful. The film I use is only Ilford Delta Pro 100 and I believe the mix ratio is either 1+9 or 1+14 with the time adjustment accordingly.

Sorry I have not really explained well at the beginning. Because I am developing 4no images at the same time, I am trying to find out why I am only getting 2no image developed good and 2no not. Is it...
