Thanks everyone for the replies. Confirms what I thought it was. There's a young chap at work who's into film in a big way and I lent him some of my equipment to get started on developing. He's been at it for a year now and, having seen his work, I thought it would be low risk to take up his

Has the strip of film been cut? Or is that actually near one end of the roll? It would be helpful to know if (uncut) it is at one end or the other (or conversely, from somewhere in the middle). Also you recall which film that might have been? On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 1:38 PM, Chris Mitchell
