Re first one, that's the best lighting I could get there (a cosy small pizza house on the corner). A couple candles on the table, and a dim bulb somewhere to my left under the ceiling. No flash, and 1/30 exposure, which was the slowest my camera offered. Although I think I stepped the 1.8/50 prime down to 2.4 or something, judging from the background.
The film is not produced any more, and even back when it was, it was quite mysterious. Apparently only made for eastern European markets, with no anti-halation layer, and grainy as hell. There never was any mention of it on Kodak sites, except, for some reason, the Hungarian one (http://wwwhu.kodak.com/HU/hu/professional/professionalFilmsAcademy.shtml).
Only ever got to shoot one roll of it, and I quite liked it, especially for the price. I posted a series of better lit shots from it last week, here's one.
Third one, yes, it's most likely underexposed. Kinda similar conditions as described above, no flash etc. Didn't have a reliable lightmeter back then. It didn't help that this film seems to be quite contrasty (second photo here was taken in very good lighting conditions, and still came out like this with virtually no pp). It required quite a bit of selective dodging/burning to tone the bg down and lighten the face up. Probably too much work than it was worth, but I wanted to be done with all those shots from back when I was still under-equipped and kind figuring stuff out. :)
And it's a "she" in all photos. ;)
