1) maybe the film I used over the summer was old. I can't remember if I used some that had been stored for a while or what. If the film was a year or so old, would that make it less responsive to exposure and development?

2) Maybe if film sits around waiting to be processed for several months, it loses responsiveness to chemistry? (I have not found this to be particularly true in the past however.)

3) Maybe I consistently metered wrong, or the meter was messed up. But I just had the meter checked and it was fine. Also it was fine when I used it for the batch of film I shot and processed last week.

4) You didn't process the film long enough.

Are you 100% sure that you developed it long enough? Did you deviate at all from how you have normally developed this film?


I used the same method to calculate development times in both batches. The film bought locally, developed immediately, worked perfectly with this method. The film shot during the summer, no telling how old the film was, and developed 3-5 months later, did not. So I don't think it's my development time figuring.
