If the scratches continued past where you had stopped shooting, I would say it was very possible that the photo lab had scratched your film. Possible from dirty racks in the film processor. However, since only the section of the film you ran through the camera is damaged, I would agree that it's probably the canister.

Thats what i'm hoping.I have put through about 4-5 colour rolls and 5-6 B&W rolls and now 4 rolls of IR.This is the only problem so far. I cannot see it being dust or dirt,if it is i got one big motha of a hole somewere :) I was just wondering if others have had bad cannister days too?? >tv Dave - Pentax User Stouffville Ontario Canada http://home.ca.inter.net/brooksdj/ http://brooks1952.tripod.com/myhorses Sign up today for your Free E-mail at: http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
