We see old film come through from time to time and it sometimes exhibits the "rust red" shadow areas and poor d-max. Could also be the chemistry, though, and scratches and dirty film should tip you immediately to poor handling and uncaring technicians at the least. Find a professional lab that processes film in a "dip-n-dunk" processor - then nothing touches the film but chemistry.
