[net.rec.photo] scratches on negatives

barbaral (03/29/83)

How do you tell if your camera, you, the store where the film was
developed scratched your negatives, or if the film was scratched
when you bought it?  
I had some film developed and printed at King Photo.  There were
scratches on a few of the prints and corresponding negatives.
The scratches were not in a consistent place, which leads me
to believe it was not my camera.  I touch the film lead when 
loading it, but don't touch it after that.  I think it was
Kodacolor II film.
