[Leica] strange x-ray effect

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Christopher Williams)]

Does the film look fogged or dark red or brown?

I've never seen a machine print x-rayed or fogged film only in "landscape"
mode. Seems like user error to me. The film can be fogged enough where the
machine's sensor cannot pick up between frames, but that does not explain a
landscape mode.

Ask the lab if they print in "auto" mode. Machines are good, but not always
accurate.

Hi everyone,

I just had a roll of fujicolor 1600 developed and printed at my local 1 hour
minilab.  4 shots were printed as "landscape mode."   And I had the machine
operator redo them and again the machine printed landscape mode.  The
operator claimed that the camera marked the negatives for this.   Strange
since I used a 1950's Leica M3.

Any comments?
