Hmm.. I think i may have ruined a new pack of Delta 100 film... I was just sitting there and wondering how I could develop films, I was ready to do black and white at some point but i plan to send of transparency film to be developed by a lab.. I got to thinking how would i be able to send this film to the lab so they could develop it..
I was wondering if each sheet came in an individual light tight envelope so that after exposing I could put it in one, seal it up and send it away with others for developing.
I opened a pack of Delta 100, saw the black bag in there... thought it couldn't be that simple and opened it and looked inside.. on pulling it out further i could see what looked like film contained inside white cardboard ends... it clicked that i've probably blasted it with light...
there goes £13 ... the original curiosity still stands though... How can you send these films off for development, what is the way you handle this film...
If this black envelope is all that is used to keep it light tight and you only use some film in a changing bag then i guess you have to seal it up, and rebox it again... i struggled to fit it back in the box when i was able to look at the bag, doing so in a changing bag is going to be interesting.
Is there any page on all this, and importantly have i likely ruined this box of 25 sheets?
Cheers.... and DOH!!!!!!!!!
