Here is the "Unlock the Power" page for Germany - for these purposes I've switched to Germany from Canada: https://www.kodakalaris.com/de-DE/No, that link is dead for me. It only leads to a photo gallery.
All Kodak 135 films have lots of very small black dust particles both onto the film cassette, and unfortunately also inside the cassette.
These paritcles are from the black velvet in cassette mouth. Kodak is using cheap, inferior material.
If you wipe with your finger above the cassette surface (on and in) you will have these particles on your finger.
Can you point me to an official Kodak statement to this? It may have been referenced above, not sure.
I'd want to see a whole lot of confirmed evidence before I gave a moment's concern to possible dust in any 35mm film arising from the factory. There are so many other possible sources, mostly from careless handling, e,g poor storage, dust in loading or in the camera, processing, drying, negative storage......I've actually seen "serious" photographers carrying an unprotected cassette in their pocket then smoking while they loaded a camera,,,,
Why didn't I come up with this myself ...Did the paper backing cause the tag on the sheep to show the number "93"?
Yes, the roll belongs to those emulsion numbers that may exhibit the above problem (0151 002 - 09/2017). Nevertheless, it's a pity.

Such a pity! This is a really nice photograph....

Me either. I'm not saying this problem isn't real, but it's new and unique and presumably now corrected. I've used Kodak film since the 1970s and never ONCE had a quality issue with a single roll or sheet.
I have not been so lucky. There have been a few exceptions, I draw your attention to the edgeprint. See anything unusual? Fortunately the last roll of TMY I shot was unaffected.I've used Kodak film since the 1970s and never ONCE had a quality issue with a single roll or sheet.

See, only the film stock used was wrong, everything else was right.It came in a Kodachrome cassette, obviously the wrong film was loaded. I did wonder why the rest of my photos from that trip came back in a week and that roll took 2 months.
Probably the absence of the REMJET coatingI assume a very careful and eagle eyed technician spotted the wrong film material in that cassette.
Ah, yes, makes sense.Probably the absence of the REMJET coating

Craig,
Do you have any info on where the film was purchased and when? When was it processed?
