I had negs back from one time I had to use bulb on an SLR when it ran out of battery. Now thinking about it I can't believe I couldn't have set it to 1/60 fixed or something... but I was a teenager and maybe just didn't think about all the options. Anyway, the negs just came back black to the eye but they made decent images once scanned and pulled in photoshop. Also in the darkroom with long exposures in the enlarger. Super grainy.

The shop was sound. I got a text today before I went in saying that one roll out of three was actually fine.
They refunded dev costs in full, replaced the three rolls of Ultramax and gave me a voucher to have the three new rolls developed. Didn't have to resort to any tactics.
Got the two other rolls that were ruined and I can see the exposures when I put them up to a really bright, hard light source like a bare bulb. So they are really dark, but I will scan anyway and see.
Thanks for the advice all.
