Re: [Leica] E-200

Dick,

Neither of the two rolls showed the type of color that you 
experienced.  My leaders were clear, and the spool ends black. I did 
my own processing in a Jobo in Photocolor 3 bath chemistry.  The film 
box (I haven't cleaned house yet this week) does indeed have a bit of 
French on one panel - blasted print is too small for mortals - but 
that may very well be for the Canadian market.

Now I did encounter a similar problem several years ago with Kodak 
print film showing a reddish blob (on the prints) across 2 frames at approximately 
the same position on each of two rolls used in the same Leica body.  
A third roll of the same batch, purchased later, used in the same 
body, but processed at a different lab came out without a problem.
