Hello,
I'm a wetplate collodian photographer who is fairly green to film photography. I recently acquired access to a new darkroom and developed several rolls of Ilford HP5 400 without trouble. However, this morning I went to develop another roll, that I exposed with a different camera than I had previously used, and the roll turned out blank. I double checked the chemistry and it seemed to be fine. Others developed this morning as well and had no trouble. The roll is translucent purple with no frame markers. The text near the sprockets from the manufacturer are present and the very ends of the roll are black. This was my first time using an SLR that had a digital read out screen for metering, but seemed to be working correctly. Does this sound like a camera error or a developing error?
Thanks so much!
