Well, no one else has taken a stab at this, so... I would suspect a setting rather than a failure. From what you say, the overexposure is consistent, which wouldn't jive with cold batteries or a sticky shutter. With weak batteries you'd be hearing the motor drive crap out before the shutter was affected. My first thought was that maybe the shutter mechanism stiffened up when you opened the back to change film, but I don't think your bracket exposures would look right. I don't think the exposures would be consistent, nor the individual exposures even. Having said that, I'm still not sure. Do you shoot Velvia at 40? Did your subject matter change? Did you at any point before loading this roll manually set your ISO? Are your slides mounted? tv
