I recently have had some problems having this developed, the negatives have come back very thin, pretty much useless.Does the Rollei film have edge markings? If it does they give you a clue as to whether the problem is underexposure or underdevelopment.Today I picked up 4 more rolls, 2 tri-x 400 and 2 Rollei retro 100. The tri-x was beautiful, the retro not so. Now I've shot a lot of this film and never had any problems. I thought maybe there was some other issue, but then it occured to me that I started the 4 rolls with 100 ISO retro, went to NYC, shot a roll, changed to 400 (as it was getting dark and I was to attend a conference indoors the next few days), *changed the meter to 400 ISO*, kept shooting.Now, I can imagine being boneheaded enough to have forgotten to move the ISO on the meter from 400 back to 100 when I shot the last roll (on the last day of my trip, after the 2 400 ISO rolls), but I'm 110% certain that the meter (and film) were both set to 100 ISO when I started, and that film is just as thin (barely visible shadows on the negs) as the other.I spoke to the lab today, and they weren't sure what the problem was, but concured that it looked severely underdeveloped. We agreed that I will shoot another roll this afternoon and deliver it in the morning, and see what happens.So I wonder, has anyone had any problems with the Rollei Retro 100 ISO film?It was developed in Tetinol Ultrafine, 4 minutes (or more) @ 24C in a JOBO ATL1500.Best regards, Thor
