Jim:
Personally I suspect your Chinese film was profiled, and then hand 
inspected. The result was an invasive unrolling and respooling of the film 
in an appropriately semi-dark room. I suspect everyone went for a cigarette 
break afterwards.
(Though Sonny may have been right with the Chinese exif)

Original message:
Purchased a small lot of (fresh) Shanghai 120 ISO 100 film recently, and
shot a roll earlier today.
It did not come out well.? The image appears mottled, and the backing paper
numbers appear on the film!!
Sample:

What happened?? Zapped by Xrays?? Martians?? Or was I just Shanghaied?
Thanks,
Jim
