Color services in needham, use some kind of standard dip and dunk film processor, in which the sheet film is loaded by clamping it on to a metal frame. the clamps leave a distinct 5 puncture hole mark on the negative. the last 2 times i processed film there, and one other time when i got the same service from panorama, all the negatives were damaged. the negatives were so uneven it was crazy, shifting from magenta to green across a single plate. a large area around where the clamps hold the negative have some kind of halo of different density and color. i dont understand, when serious photographers used to send in their plates, was it also like this? or is it because today, only stupid like me actually shoot sheet film, and hence can be treated like stupid poeple and given these results as normal?
