A lot of labs can be like Bart Simpson.........."I didn't do it". If the
film is warped, you can bet it's something they did.
I remember a load of 120 wedding pictures we processed at a lab that I once
did time at. The film came out completely black, even the edges and space
between frames. Other rolls, from other photographers in the same run were
fine. It seems a disgruntled competing wedding studio had access to his
exposed film and either put it inside a dry mount press or an oven,
completely fogging it.
