Marcos, what camera did you shoot that with? ...the RB67? Does it have a darkslide?

EDIT: I just looked at an online manual... it does... if that is the camera you used.

[marcosb]

yes it has a darkslide Why

[marcosb]

i actualy developed the film that was exspired thinking that i prarice with that but that ine came out clear to so i thought it was really really exspired do i tried the other one not thinking twice same process it sopose to be six in a half minutes on stock solution but i made it seven in a half minutes developeing the only differnt thing i did was used a differnt developer i dont think that has anything to do with it thats it

Even expired film will give you some image... even if it is very fogged... so since you said it was clear, I would guess that it was never exposed. That doesn't happen unless you do something like leave the dark slide in (...may not be possible if there is an interlock) or load the film backwards so that the paper is exposed rather than the film... also hard to do. If you were using Lee's RB-67 maybe he has some ideas.

Marcos.
I have FUBARed you. In my rush when I got to Glenwood this morning I neglected to check a switch on the lens. This switch couples the lens shutter trip to the mirror release. In the position it is now in, the shutter in the lens must be tripped seperatly after the button on the camera body is pressed. Sorry. If it is any consolation the last five or so exposures I have taken with the camera have the same problem.
The other rolls of film you used today can be rewound and used again.

The RB67 will not fire the shutter when the dark slide is fully inserted.

The film was not exposed.

The numbers are exposed at the factory.

If you can read the numbers and film brand, then it was developed correctly.

Did you remove the dark slide before exposing each frame?

there is a interlock on the camera if you dont take the clide out it wont take a picture what im doing right now useing the same solution (developer) to develope the 35ml film that i was useing today i already develope a few frames of the hole roll with the developer i was useing before thinking i would probaly i mixed the developer worng but the pictures from the developer that i use to use came out good so far

[marcosb]

The other rolls of film you used today can be rewound and used again.

So, Marcos, did you have a 35mm camera with you as well? I have some pictures too but since they are digital, I'm not going to post them in the Darkroom section...

[marcosb]
