digital disaster #26
--- I would never expect Rollei Retro to play this trick on me, but it did! Do you see the numbers imprinted from the backing paper? It happened to me once before with Shangai GP3. Never with Ilford and Kodak films.

I heard it often appears with very old films. Once I had the same with Shanghai GP3 after only 1 year in the fridge.

The GP3 backing paper is rather loose and weak, isn't it? I think that it is susceptible to long exposures and minimal data leaks when stored.

Here is a sample of a pinhole taken with GP3:

GP3 - light digits.
Rollei - dark digits.
Weird, isn't it?

I once read it should be a chemical reaction between the paint of the numbers and the emulsion. Light infall I could exclude and wouldn'r be so even imo.

I think it is the most plausible explanation!
But there is another thing:
Shots taken at the same negative with normal lenses (and accordingly short times) do not have the defect at all. So it must have something to do with chemical reactions and long exposure times.
