Topic: Opening up a camera and finding a different film in there than you thought

[Indofunk]

I had a roll of partially-exposed film in my Graflex that had sat there for probably close to a year. For some reason I had convinced myself that it was Tri-X, so yesterday I finally decided to blow out the rest of the exposures so I could develop it along with another roll of Tri-X I had just finished. I shot a series of about 10 double exposures that I thought would look great in B&W. Rewound film, opened camera ... Gold 400. If I'd know that, I definitely wouldn't have shot light yellow over dark yellow Anyways, I considered developing it in Rodinal, but if the exposures on there from last year were supposed to be in color then I'd screw that up. So I guess I'll develop it in C41 and then convert the last 10 exposures to B&W in Lightroom.

At least it was shot at the same film ISO... It could have been more embarrassing.
I'd C-41 it too if I were you. You can always strip out color but you can't add it when it's not there.

Yeah, exactly ... after getting over the initial anger at color vs B&W, I was relieved the realize that at least I was exposing it at the right ISO

Well, that has never happened to me!

Wink wink, nudge nudge.
