HP5+ in Rollei Supergrain 1:15. Shot on Rolleiflex.

I’ve shot several rolls over the years with a similar process, this time the roll was likely a bit jammed from the get go and stayed in the camera for a bit too long (8 months at least).

The lack of contrast was expected, the underexposed frames are a bit of a surprise, but the main issue I’m having with this is the highlighted area, I’ve never experienced this before.

I’m thinking that the roll didn’t load on the spiral properly and so the developer couldn’t access that part of the film, can anyone confirm or give me more insights?

This looks like two problems. Problem one, the developer didn't reach the film on the last strip. Secondly, it looks like the winding mechanism inside of your camera is broken. I have never seen images being this unevenly spaced.

Edit: I based this on virtue of the first two strips, basically having one picture and massive spaces of nothing on it.
