My guess is that it was rushed to market and was not properly cured.

I love the tones as I did with the old film but this new incarnation is only good for Holgas and other toy cameras... I think Foma should recall all rolls of this film because it is the film I used to love but I can never use again for real work.
Scratches all over not just long ones but also it has small micro scratches all over the film.
