Hmmm this is getting interesting - have great negs with no "base fog" which
I have been able to detect.  Maybe this batch was irradiated by something
on its travels to the outlets in the US.  I had assumed that the film is
manufactured in the US - maybe it is made in Japan and shipped worldwide
given that I have heard there is only one batch made every year.  This
story has always seemed unlikely to me.......

Could be time to EMail Konica and ask for their opinions....


All the best,
