Gary, there’s a reason why the wrapper is totally sealed. Condensation and humidity are the enemies of film. I would think 120 film with its paper backing is very sensitive to humidity. I personally always freeze my film in zip locked plastic bags for extra security. I would certainly not discard the remaining film, but probably wouldn’t shoot anything too important with it. Please keep in mind that it could be a lab mistake too. Normally affected film should come out darker and grainier.
The lab is super trustworthy but could be a factor. It was a very white scene though. A lot of snow all around and a white fog in the air. Probably a bit of a challenge for slide film. Thanks for the info! My Portra160 shots of the same turned out good though....https://www.olympus-lifescience.com/en/microscope-resource/primer/photomicrography/colornegprocerrors/
Does this work for all film types? Thanks for the link!
Yes but for reversal film, developer issues would be reversed. Under development will cause the film to be too thin for negatives and too thick for slides.
I will have to look at some other negs to compare. I always thought (could be wrong) that the film lettering I have seen was always good regardless of severe overexposure or underexposure. I remember metering carefully off of a grey-ish colored window to try and get an accurate reading. I didn't want the bright snow and sky to mess with things. I should have bracketed another exposure I guess. Oh well, the joys of film!Well, not to make things even more complicated, but it could also be your camera shutter that is slower than the actual speed you set.
As a rule of thumb, slide film has 2 1/3 stops latitude above middle grey and 2 2/3 under. I would take a spot reading off the snow and overexpose by no more than 1 1/2 stops in order to preserve detail.

The only time I've had serious issues with expired 120 film is if it has had the wrapper removed. The paper absorbs moisture etc.
I wouldn't throw it away though, just use it for 'experimental/artistic' purposes.

Do you guys know if keeping the 120 film wrapper in place affects long term (freezer) storage? I recently used some Provia 100F which was expired and out of the wrapper but apparently always freezer stored. The results were not very good. Most of the film was really light and resulting images were way overexposed. If the film is out of the wrapper, is it best just to scrap it? Just wanted some input before I try a few more rolls (E6 as well) that I have. Thanks.The only time I've had serious issues with expired 120 film is if it has had the wrapper removed.

Thanks for the info! My Portra160 shots of the same turned out good though....How does the film numbering and coding look like? If it looks normal, it’s your mistake. If it looks bleached like the photos, then it’s either the film or the lab. Easy to determine if you take a close look.

My camera shutter did in fact sound slow. It was super cold that morning....

Very nice, Tom! How long you had that tx1? I also see you shooting your favorite film, in 35mm (as opposed to 120 with all the backing paper problems )

Thanks. I've had the TX-1 for a couple of months (bought it from FM user Desmolicious!), and recently completed the lens collection by adding on the 30mm f/5.6 lens. I've got all three lenses for this camera, 30mm, 45mm, and 90mm. It's an amazing camera, with incredibly sharp lenses. While it shoots 35mm film, it's really a medium format camera; just clipped from the top.
She's a beauty!

Very nice! I should have picked one up in years past when they were cheaper. Prices are going up faster than the stock market. That is a fine kit and will serve you well for years to come.

Actually, he's horrible. He sold me a VERY expensive camera, and I liked it so much I had to buy the 30mm lens, which cost more than the camera itself!!
