<p>I originally thought it was a reflection from the beekeeper's veil...but the same thing is visible on this shot, in different lighting conditions, and without veil. I'm perplexed!</p><div></div>

<p>Hi. I wonder if anyone can help me with this one? I shot a roll of Portra400NC 120 film on a Mamiya RB67, so I had 10 exposures. Nothing untoward seemed to happen during the two shoots when I used it. I shot five frames in o ne outdoor location, and then a further five indoors, later the same day. When I wasn't shooting the dark slide was i n, and the camera in a closed box. After the final exposure I unloaded the film, sealed it and put it in my coat pocket. I had it developed the next day at a commercial lab, and got back the film in one hour, with scans. Frames 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 an 9 were fine, but frames 4, 6 and 7 were all fogged in the same place. Frame 10 was unexposed (...I think I tried a shot with flash and it didn't fire). Do you think this fogging is most likely to have occurred when I loaded/unloaded the film, or is it more likely to be a light leak in the camera...and if so, whereabouts? I've never had this happen before with the camera. It is the fact that there was no fogging on shots between the fogged ones that confuses me. Any suggestions appreciated. I've another shoot tomorrow and no time to shoot/develop a test roll before then.</p><div></div>

Thanks both of you for your advice. I've posted it at the post office so not sitting in 35 degree sun all day. Will let you

know how it turns out! Best wishes, Ed

Hi,

I'm travelling to Europe for holidays and will be shooting 35mm fujichrome slide film bought in UK process-paid. I plan to mail the exposed

film back to be developed in the envelopes they came with from wherever I am when I use up each film, with my home in UK as the

return address, in case my bag gets lost/stolen later in the trip. I'm assuming this is fine since Kodachrome had to be posted to

Switzerland and that apparently works ok. I'm just worried about the films getting fogged if everything gets heavily x/rayed in the post.

Anyone got any advice? I'll probably risk it anyway, since it will only be holiday snaps. But would be appreciated if you could put my mind

at rest. Cheers.
