Developing Mistake or Camera Fault?
Hi,
I've just developed a roll of Kentmere 400 in Ilfosol 3 for the recommended time (6.5 mins) at 20C. However, 6 of the 24 frames display not-entirely-blank images; an exposure is visible at the bottom 8th of the frame. What's odd also, is that there is a perfectly exposed frame between them.
I was testing a Praktica MTL3 someone had given to me. Admittedly, I pressed the shutter button just after the last frame on the roll and the mirror hadn't fallen back down. I unscrewed the lens to check whether the shutter had closed and it had. Additionally, I found that the wind up mechanism was quite stiff when winding back.
I wondered whether anyone could explain what might have happened here, and help clarify whether it is a developing issue or camera fault.
Any help is much appreciated.
