<p>Sorry for my use of the term "deterioration". It wasn't the most accurate word to use! :p<br /><br /> @Mike Gammill: The negatives arrived like this from the lab.<br /><br /> @John Shriver: That was also my hunch. Although I kept them inside the foil, it can get pretty humid in Cape Verde. I don't have any other Delta films, but I will take a look at other rolls I had stored in the same conditions.<br /> I have also had problems with fungus before (on my lenses). Do you mean I should look for fungus also on the unexposed roll? I don't see anything growing on these developed rolls.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your inputs and advises.</p>
