I finished the roll of film and took it to the local CVS ( a drugstore/pharmacy that has photo center inside ) for processing. The young man said it takes at most typically 2 weeks.

The entire negative strip was like that. Was it bad film? Exposed improperly, or what? Not sure if I want to buy another roll from different place and different type or not. Reading the above comments/suggestions again, I did NOT cover the little red window/frame viewer as suggested. I am pretty sure if I do try another roll, I will NOT be using CVS's 3rd party company ( Fuji ) to process it. They wanted $19.99 ( US ) for this. The CVS manager said she was not going to charge me anything. She could tell I wasn't happy with that figure, and also wondered why Fuji did not at least call me and talk to me about this.
Suggestions, comments, tips?
