This is why I said slide film. You used print film, and it sounds like you looked at prints, which can lead to all sorts of problems.

The biggest problem is getting viewing the film with high enough magnification do draw good conclusions. Once I started using a 30x, stereo microscope it became much easier to see what a lens could do.
