The last two rolls of film I had developed contained faults. Both developed as ASDA. The roll developed at Lowestoft ASDA had three pictures which were defective. I got a free film as compensation. The second in Great Yarmouth ASDA. This last roll was seriously defective. Stains on prints and negatives, colour casts, light leaks, badly cut negatives, five images not even printed off the roll.
Leading me to think that my main film camera (Pentax P30t) was developing a fault.
So yesterday after I had found the developing tank pictured in the previous post I made my way to Tesco in North Lowestoft. With apprehension I picked up my prints. But I was pleasantly surprised that the quality was on the whole back to a normal standard. These places are supermarkets first and foremost. They are not specialised film development labs. If you call the manager let alone ask the operator on the whole they are not going to be well versed in the technical aspects of photography. If this was for a job I would use a professional developing service or as I am intending to do in the near future develop them myself. This post is not meant to be a rant. That is bad blogging.
My camera is not going wrong and I am very happy.
