Signs Of Defects

[rashed_s]

<p>I experienced very critical defects with most of my Fuji’s 100F slide films which I have ordered from b&h just a week before going on my holiday to Sri Lanka.<br>

After shooting all of the films using the Fuji G617, I have taken the films for processing to a local shop in Colombo, I argued with man processed them that the problem is because of his processing but he refused to except that.<br>

I kept the films all in a film x-ray safe backs going to Sri Lanka.<br>

If it is a processing problem or the problem with films then it is easier to except, if it is the camera, I would appreciate it to know where would the problem be and how to sort it out,please ?<br>

Thank you and wishing you all of the best.</p><div></div>

<p>Outside of poor exposure, I don't see a defect on the picture in question. Perhaps you could explain what you see or highlight it for those looking at the picture on a computer screen, and not in real life.</p>

<p>It's smeary - I think it is poor film processing.</p>

[SCL]

<p>OK - I can sort of barely detect it on my screen. The shot you displayed....is it a scan of a print or of the slide directly? In either case I would agree that it looks like a processing issue. If the slide itself looks like that, you're pretty much out of luck, but if this is a scan of a print from a slide, and the slide is ok, I would demand the shop reprint.</p>

<p>Rashed, If this is a scan of the transparency then I too agree it's a processing problem. On my screen I can see an unevenness for the entire length of the file. But my opinion is based only what I can observe on my screen. Take the film to another lab for their analysis. Come back & let us know how you make out. Best, LM.</p>

<p>Thanks to all of you, this is a 6X17cm size slide, I see the same defect on the slide itself without even scanning it.<br>

I m not really concerned with the poor exposure here at all, I am bothered with the defect and weather or not it is from my camera, the slide films I ordered or the film processing.<br>

I shot 44 films of the same size and the same camera G617, not all with this defect but many of them.<br>

Thank you again and I do appreciate your help, please.</p>

<p>Dear Len, the sign of this defect on the films is obvious I can clearly see them on my light box.<br>

I noticed that some thing went wrong with the processing, possibly the processor rollers are well contaminated with chemical deposits and the been carried over the film at the first developer run, the shop man refused to except this and that why my friend I wanted some one else opinion.<br>

Thank you my friend for your help.</p>

<p>I have hade the same problem with a lab, the film was Fuji but other rolls of the same batch processede in another lab did not show the defect. It is a processing problem.<br>

<p>I would call this defect "mottle." <br>

1. One likely cause is poor agitation in either first developer or color developer.<br>

2. maybe roller problem or squeegee problem between processing tanks, if it is a roller transport process. </p>
