Is there a problem pre-soaking Ilford Delta 400?

Oh, I forgot. The developer (Ilfotec DD-X) called for 1+4 dilution. I took that to mean 4 oz. developer, 16 oz. water. That is correct?
No, when I loaded the camera, I could see the arrow that I was supposed to see. :-)

Off the wall, only other thing I can think of is to check the back and be sure it's working right. I had one once wind through the roll without stopping when it messed up.
I hope you didn't load the roll in wrong side out like my fiance did when she was learning to load her Bronica!

Crap, I forgot about that one, I did it several times with my RB setup.

Yeah, I forgot about that one too - and it just happened to me a month ago!

It was a virtually new 6x4.5 Hassy back and the interlock mechanism in the back went haywire. Loaded a roll of Efke 25 and lined up the arrow the way you are supposed to, closed up the back and started cranking. Went all the way thru the roll without realizing something was wrong!

After a $100 trip to the Hassy repairman all was well again!

strangely, I did it too, only a few weeks ago in my Rollei SL66 - I have loaded that back many, many times. What an idiot I am

Ok, the color film that I had processed came out blank too, so the camera is going to a Hassey doctor to see if there is a problem with it. I know of nothing else to do, so away it goes........

Bummer man, sorry to hear it was a mechanical problem.
