I've heard some talk about the sprocket holes ripping on a film, but had not
experienced this either until this trip. On one roll of 36 exp Kodak
Elitechrome 100 EC, the sprocket holes ripped at about the 28th frame, and
stopped advancing. I rewound the roll and managed to get about 24 slides,
but every one of them was quite overexposed on almost every frame. Since the
rolls before and after it worked fine, all the same film type and all on
OM2s, and mostly were pretty well exposed correctly, does it make any sense
to conclude that the film roll was not only defective mechanically, but also
somehow defective in its exposure speed? It just seems too much conicidence
that every frame would be overexposed on that roll, and almost none on
several other rolls.
