Film and Digital Photography

All of a sudden all of my pictures that I take have been coming out as though they were shot in the fog. I am using a Canon Rebel EOS K2 with ASA 400 film, and it doesnt seem to matter whether the pictures are taken in complete daylight or dusk hour, they are all very hazy and low quality images. Can anyone please give me some input on this. I have always used digital cameras and have been able to see the pictures as I have taken them to be able to tell if there is a problem, so now using a film camera this is quite annoying to go to pick up your prints and find them all below par quality. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Nobody has any thoughts on this problem. I really hate wasting film if I dont know what is causing the problem. Any help would be great.

Thanks

my first thought is that it is your lab.... but then you provided no info as to they type of lab you are using. If you are just dropping it off at a 1 hour, all-processed the same, that could be the problem.

As I mentioned, I typically have used Digital cameras so this is the first rolls of film that have been taken with this Film camera. I did take the film to a 1 hour photo at CVS for developing. It seems rather strange that only 1 picture turned out without the foggy appearance, and that was a picture that was taken indoors with the flash. All of the rest of the pictures were taken outside in afternoon daylight & into the dusk hour on the Auto Setting.

Bad film stock? Did you buy all the film at onece or from the same place? Have you traveled with it an gone through X-ray too many times? Did it get over heated? Is it old?

No, havent traveled, no it isnt old, and no it wasnt purchased at the same time or from the same place. I am pretty much clueless as to why it turned out this way. I have another roll of film in the camera right now, and once it is completed I will take it to a different finishing location to see what happens. Thanks for the thoughts though.

Ok, there are 3 reason where I would ask you to build your mind on:

1= possible light increase ( leakage ) through your lens when the blind is open, some light get through and that sort of light would for sure creat the fogging effect, the best test to see that is:

Get the camera on B place the lens cover on the lens open the back place a plack cloth on your head and to cover the camera and see if there is any light passing through.

2= your films dates expired, thats also should have been expired at least a period of 6 months or more and not been stored in a proper temperature.

3= you been taken your camera from totally cool room which possibly air-conditioned to a high temperature out door where humidity builds up on your lens.

Other wise, I would advice to take you camera to a quilified shop and let them check it for you.

Please also remember that when you store films in a frij, you need to keep them out of the frij. for at least 2 hours before loading them in your camera.

Thanks for all of the replies. I just had some more rolls of film processed that I took to a different processing facility & the pix all look great. Dont know if it was the film, or the place I took the last rolls to, so I am still uncertain what caused it. But for now all is well & I wont be taking any of my film back to the other developers. Thanks again for all of the input.
