If the box were on the closer cheek, it would block the buttocks crease which would make it less interesting

What box?
We're waiting for NB23 to pony up.
Well I did say "put up or shut up" so maybe he just chose the later

Yea I think the memory of the shot is why I mixed the developer wrong, I must have still been distracted

Wtf does that mean?
You have any examples of that?
About this pan-f conversation, i will post a picture that absolutely proves my point about the latent image theory being absolute BS. No matter what you or mister galley say. I'll do it when I'll have the time to do it. My real life is extremely busy. All these internet conversations are more childish then anything else to me. There's no "put up or shut up" with me. When I say something it is because I totally mean it.
Until now, no one has still convinced me that I am wrong.
Well, this thread has been rather amusing to read.

FWIW, I found in a box in my garage (damp, hot in summer, cold in winter) a Kodak disposable camera (expired 2003) containing a half-finished 400 speed film. I recently finished off the film and sent it away for cheapy D&P.
The "old" shots had faded as if badly underexposed, while the recent shots were as good as fresh film. But, oddly, all the edge markings were bold as a fresh film! How do we explain that?

Do not waste your time posting the picture. Move on with life, and shoot some film then develop it promptly.
No matter what your picture shows it will not prove to me that "the latent image theory being absolute BS". Only a carefully controlled study will do that. That study will take at least a year if we shoot one image a week or 10 days and have other films tested side by side.
A Pentax LX or MZ-S that lets you reload a film exactly and reshoot the roll from where you left off would be perfect for this study. I have one but really have no interest in doing this study as I will not let any Pan-F I shoot sit around for months before I develop it.
Something else of interest.

A simple test for edge marking stability might be to get a fresh roll of Pan-F and leave it unexposed.
Every time you develop an exposed roll of Pan-F just include a inch or so of the unexpoded roll in the tank. As long as you use the same devloper and time each roll you may see the edge marking fade over time on the unexposed roll.
A question; Are the edge markings, "in low exposure areas"?

As another said. Posting a print doesn't prove anything.
And "when I say something I mean it" doesn't mean anything either, if you're unwilling to send off the film to ilford, then you're ether afraid of being proven wrong, lying and trolling, or just plain lazy.
I'm watching "game of thrones" a show on HBO so I'm prone to say bold things like ...
"Either send the film or be viewed by all in the community as a coward and a liar!"
Haha

Summing up, the consensus is that that anyone making comments like this "I don't get all these warnings and extra careful manipulations. I really don't care how I handle my films" and then making all kinds of unfounded complaints really can't be taken seriously.

I'd still like to hear more about this.

Hahaha OMG it's SATURDAY!!!! That means I get another day!!! Haha so funny, I did an overnight on a movie set and came home at 7am (Saturday morning) and then passed out and woke at around 11am, but because I went to sleep on Saturday, I was thinking it was Sunday haha.
Your other response reminds me about when I was saying I thought Tmax400 was not producing any good tones and then said to someone who suggested changing agitation and I said "I don't care about agitation technique changes I want to not change anything and have good images" or something like that, and then I went and changed my technique (I compromised to somewhere in between my old and his suggested) and got some nice results.
Sometimes it takes time to accept that you're wrong or foolish, sometimes it never happens haha

Better than an unexposed roll shoot a step table 36 times and use a 3 inch clip in the tank each time. With 3 inches you should get all of the steps visible each time (plus the edge markings). There is no way to know exactly when the edge marking were put on the film but we would know the date of the step tablet images.

So guys, why do these expired films (2005) with markings that might be dating as far back as 2000 show up so nicely, contrasty and sharp?
Shouldn't they be faint, or even completely non-existent, according to the "poor latent image theory" that some people want to believe?
I firmly stand on my position: There is either a manufacturing inconsistency, bad QC or we're being sold some very expired but marked as fresh film.
I'm not accusing Ilford. But as a consumer with minimal knowledge, I just can't swallow quite easily the fact that some Fresh pan-f go bad on me while some other 8 years expired pan-f films look incredibly good.
Poor latent image? No way.

NB23, pretty stong words from
Unless you know exactly how the edge markings you compare have been generated the only conclusion you can draw from their appearance is wether you mixed up developer and fixer or not.

You can't have it both ways.
At the very least, you are suggesting Ilford are acting in bad faith, while you go on to suggest they might be acting fraudulently.
