monogatari Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hello, can someone explain why this roll was so damaged and what are those blue dots? I developed it together with another film and the second was perfect. Since is from a client I ignore if the film was expired, but the owner told me they exposed it more than 1 year ago, is this the cause of this deterioration?

rodeo_joe1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Spots like that are usually caused by contamination of the film by metal particles - specks of rust from an old camera for example. Of course it's impossible to accurately diagnose the fault remotely, but metal contamination would be my best guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot, the film was very sticky when i removed from the canister, i suspect was either water damaged or put in a super humid location. The other film loaded in the same tank with same chems was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Condensation on the film will definitely cause spots, but usually not with such a pronounced blue or purple colouration. (Yellow or green in the negative.) Maybe the cassette got rusty or corroded? Edited July 31, 2021 by rodeo_joe|1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
