Hah, that is very interesting, the paper is balanced for the orange base of colour negative film, and should become blueish, and not greenish, when exposed without it. I made quite a few experiments with paper negative. It's not completely the same case, but here is a sample with no filtering and daylight (paper also requires tungsten, and not daylight):
www.lomography.es/homes/adash/albums/1887275-ra4-colour-pap… and here is one that is better filtered:
www.lomography.es/homes/adash/albums/1888433-ra4-colour-pap… I actually used the orange film base for the second, together with an ordinary tungsten balance filter.
XP2 actually has a clear base, and if printed optically, it should produce blue cast, like the first sample, and not green. Maybe the lab technicians did something sloppy after all...
Well, @adash the photo lab developed this roll are using an analog printer, NORITSU QSS-2611, so if the lab were using digital minilab like Frontier, maybe the results were defferent. I like this greenish-blue monochrome photos, though..
Don't get me wrong, I like them too. I am surprised that someone is still printing optically. Most labs here will scan the film and print digitally. And the morons still charge $3 if you want the digital files as well....
