Can anyone tell me what happened to this roll of Velvia 50 ? The lab claims my roll of 120 wasn't sealed tightly enough. But it doesn't really make sense as the problem is worst at the beginning of the roll (and closer to the center of the spool).
That wouldn't explain this kind of defect.You don't suppose some fool tried to process it like 35mm through their machine do you?
I think they're right...The lab claims my roll of 120 wasn't sealed tightly enough.
I think they're right..
I've processed a reasonable amount of E6 film in my Jobo and haven't seen this defect before, or anything similar with negative film, any light ingress associated with "fat rolls" has shown up at the end of the roll as you reference. - I do try and carry a roll of electrical tape to deal with occasions when I might not be 100% convinced of light tightness but don't recall having an issue with the Fuji self-seal approach.But then wouldn't it get worst approaching the end of the roll? It's actually the opposite : the problem is really bad at the beginning and there are barely any blue spots at the end of the roll.
- as in by hand with inversion? - this seems like a slightly strange approach for E6 or C-41 for that matter.The lab processed it manually in a tank I believe.
Depends on when the problem happens - when loading the roll into the camera, or when unloading it from the camera.But then wouldn't it get worst approaching the end of the roll?

I've done a few loose rolls in my time, doesn't look at all like that.
Looks like some mechanical fault.
What a beautiful panoramic. Its a shame about the dev problem, Have never seen anything like it in the years Ive self-dev'd 120 film

at least we live in the modern era so you can repair it without the difficulties you may have encountered 10 or 30 years ago.Thank you. From what I can tell someone at the lab didn't know what they were doing.

YMMV
IDK. just takes time and a light touch. .. I had to reconstruct old silver gelatin tintypes from 120 years ago onceIt would still be a nightmare to correct in Photoshop.
Agreed. I would be furious if a lab destroyed an image like this of mine.
The regular nature of the marks makes me suspect a mechanical issue of some kind with the lab's development, but what exactly I couldn't say.
Thankfully it was only a test roll and my remaining films were developed back home. What irked me more was the lab telling me it was my fault... It's a pretty easy fix in photoshop but luckily I also shot a version on Portra 400 so all is not lost.at least we live in the modern era so you can repair it without the difficulties you may have encountered 10 or 30 years ago.
