THAT's what I was trying to tell you! I have had MUCH film damaged
in the warm months when sent to the Fuji lab (there is only one, in Phoenix, and yes, it was a stupid choice for a film lab location IM(NS)HO, given my experience. [Not all film was damaged, but much of it showed at least some damage - something I have never experienced with the Kodalux NJ lab {but, then, it rarely gets over 100 degrees
there...}]). In Fuji's favor: when weather is not a problem, their
processing is fully the equal of Kodalux's (Fuji or Kodak film), and
there prices are lower.
Hope this helps.
