Acros 100 roll came completely blank - Possible C-41 development?

You were lucky Steve;
Once Kodak lost/destroyed all my Kodachromes I exposed when on my only trip to the USA, even the money for the films alone was a whole lot, plus the money for processing.

Kodak gave me no refund whatsoever!

There's no issue with the camera and all the previous rolls (this is my first Acros) came without any problems.

Are these images sign that the lab did something wrong?

Thanks for all your help!

Orange base means you got back C41 film, not Acros, seems they lost your film.

Yeah that's not Acros.

When I was a teenager I used to think that the camera somehow burned the frame numbers on the film edge.

Maybe the got the film mixed up and yours is still there or someone else got it. I would press the issue with them. Good Luck.

You may be able to trace the date when the film was developed by the number on the reference tab. If it comes back before you even handed the film in then they have a lot of explaining to do and some form of compensation to cover all your troubles and effort

yup, looks like they gave you back another roll of C41. They either pooched yours or gave it to someone else. I'd start off nice, then ratchet up the heat, depending on their attitude. btw, does the claim check on the film match the check on your envelope ?

Regardless, don't let them snow you, no edge markings=no development.

What stumped the sales guy was when I asked how the camera knew if I had Kodak or Konica film loaded.

The envelope came without any reference as well as the negative sleeves.

Thanks a lot for the advice!
