the plot thickens: i called a camera store today, and described to them
what happened, and i was advised to refix the negatives and see what
happened.

so, i did that, and then instead of the psychedelic tie dyed purple, i got
a clear, barely there lavender shade, where it looks like none of the film
was exposed, although some frames have the name of the film and number
above them, but no image in the frame itself

any ideas what i did wrong?

i am using a Medium Format Camera that i am not familiar with, and my
guess is that although the film advanced, it somehow didn't get exposed
properly

thank you!
