    no images????

    hello all, i purchased a 6x9 film back for my 4x5 omega, i shot the images, or so i thought, i processed the film, washed it, pulled it out of its tank, and and wa la. nothing.... clear film, the numbers are there and the kodak 400 writing is along the top, but there are no images, is there another way to load the film back?, i know i pulled the dark slide out. hmmm oh well, feed back would be appreciated, thanks

    However unlikely, is it possible that you loaded it with the paper backing toward the lens?

    oh yea, and there is two distinct lines that run the entire length of the film, from the top maybe a half inch to the first line, then down another inch to the other line, then half inch to the bottom of the film, between the two lines its kind foggy looking, but you can see through it. thanks

    If the numbering is there, development was correct (or close enough to have some image, even if very faint).
    Black film = no exposure.
    Clear film = overexposed.
    If film is clear, hold the negative up to a light, or in enlarger, and look "real" close. See if there is any image at all.

    nothing there, just kind of foggy looking, but its uniform all through out, between those lines.

    As Ron stated, and with the lines in it, you may have inadvertantly loaded it paper-side to the lens, slightly overexposed it enough to get exposure above and below the paper, but not enough to get an image.

    If it is any consolation, how do you think that problem could have been the issue?
    Been there.
    Done that.
    More than once.
