At long last I have run another roll through the camera and I believe
someone's suggestion of there being a bit of film in the development
tank to be correct. The photos I have gotten back are crisp, clean,
and without flaw... well except the normal few in which I have simply
taken bad photos.


Thanks for all the help.
