[Konvas] lab accident

Ole,
 
I cannot understand how your lab got it wrong, after all Fuji and film type  
was stamped on the leader.
It should be ok but you may have to fiddle with the contrast in post. The  
Lab was wrong so ask for a refund or free telecine.  I am not sure if Fuji  and 
Kodak share the same processing pack but as the Fuji was out of date then it  
may have issues anyway. 
 
Ref your daughters B/W images.  Did you use a KMZ 10mm lens as I also  had 
issues some time back. These lenses need a lot of light and also the  focusing 
ring is too close to the F stops so sometimes as you focus you can  change the 
iris accidentally which happened to me many times until I had the  grub screw 
tightented up to make more stiff.  There was a lot of back light  which is not 
good for the 10mm. I know it had a lot of grain but did I detect  some 
'veiling' although you said it was new stock from Kodak.
 
Personally, I would film your daughter on her own without people passing by  
which only distracts the eye.
Can you not include her as a series of still shots run in succession or  
perhaps a montage of sequences to suggest movement.
 
If you put film in a camera, then you are a serious film maker and can only  
get better.
 
best regards Rita
