I did get /some/ image. It was barely perceptible, but I could make out
faint outlines of the scenes. If the shutter had failed, but everything
else worked properly, then the film counter would still have fogged the
sprockets - I could see the expected fogging, but it was very faint (more
visible than the image though). The roll of T-Max 400 I just shot turned
out fine, so apparently eveything's functioning okay, camerawise. So I'll
try another roll of HIE tomorrow. I'm still at a loss as to what to process
it for though :/ I've used the recommended times for D-76 without a problem
(aside from the fogging, which is my camera's fault - I'm trying a
half-covered IR counter with the next roll though).
