Actually, I think that you have a few things confused.  If you shot everything at the same
speed and aperture, how could you have assigned EI 200 to it?

I set my camera at EI 250, meter through the filter, and fire away (yes, I do alter it
depending upon the season and scene, but that's my starting point).  I don't use pyro
because of the potential health problems, but use Xtol without any problems.  Examples can
be seen on my Web site.
