Film scratches diagnosis

[Doug Palmer]

It's good that Kodak have come clean on this, if that's the expression ?   They are on the side of us film-makers after all. In the distant past there were issues with Kodak's quality control. I'm thinking particularly of scratched super-8 Kodachrome during processing,  in the huge mass S8 era, which caused some like me to use other makes of film. And over 20 years ago I had some really dusty fresh 16mm Kodachrome... my complaining didn't work.  So when these issues happen extremely rarely, as I suppose is possible in any factory process,  it's very relieving to know that Kodak is serious about resolving them quickly.

I think I too in future will examine the first leader when loading, just in case.  I hope you can reshoot these scenes successfully, or possibly rescue the shots you have taken.
