I did a shoot the other day using 7217 and 7218. We shot both indoors and outdoors with a Beaulieu 4008 camera. I shot a total of 10 rolls of film. Rolls 3, 5, 6, and 7 have come out completely black. I am stumped and noone has any idea what the problem is. As far as the lab can tell, the film ran through the camera (he said there are light spots at the end of the roll to signify it went through).
The shutter switch was not touched at all.
Also, the exposed film came back particularly grainy, and the black reels are not just complete black, there is super grain, especially in the blue and green colors, dancing around the image.
I doubt this could be a problem of sever underexposure. Mainly, because on the interior footage we shot a mini explosion so we should see a shot burst of something. Also, the other 3 rolls were shot outside and the exposure was in the f8 range.
Please any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've called other labs for advice and we are sending the film into kodak. But, to be honest, everyone seems stumped.....
Thanks,
Steve Schlueter
