Just had a roll of reala dev'd and the negs are very light with low contrast and the prints are very dark and grainy. Is this underdevelopment? The numbers and writing on the edge of the film are the same as the frame in contrast. I'm leaning toward the film being underdeveloped but could it be that the chemicals where off or the wrong temp? Camera meter is spot on as I checked it with my other camera. I'm not used to diagnosing negs so any help appreciated, thx J
 
Sounds like they were either under-exposed or under developed.

Your meter may be OK but did you select the correct ISO?
