So I just hadsome film developed and they told me they couldn't print the pictures because the film was too light, like they couldn't see t the pictures so they couldn't print them. I don't know what the problem is. Is it them or my camera? Pic unrelated.

If you do some research about how film works you'll realize why it could be both but probably your fault if this is a mini lab you went to and if it's colour film.

My light meter is fine, if it's my fault I don't know how it could be.

try another lab, if it happens again your camera is fucked

My camera has been OK so far. I've got pictures developed there before and they've turned out fine, except a different person did it this time than the usual person. Can I get the same film developed again? Or worked on?

>because the film was too light
What does the film look like? Is it indeed "too light", i.e. you can barely see a negative image or can't see one at all?
If this is true then the film was severely underexposed. Possible causes:
* Wrong ISO setting.
* User error in reading light meter / setting shutter and aperture (if not using AE).
* If all frames where shot in the same lighting, and that lighting fooled the AE program, it could result in consistent severe underexposure. But this is somewhat unlikely. Even when AE is off it's usually not off by so much that there's no printable image at all.
* Shutter failure.
* I wouldn't think it would be the aperture because an aperture failure would typically mean the aperture is stuck open, meaning likely overexposure. But if the aperture failed in a way that it closed as far as possible, instead of to the set aperture, then it could lead to underexposure. I can imagine that with a fully electronic lens mount, i.e. a computer chip fucking up and stopping down to f/22 all the time.
* Lab error is possible but unlikely. I guess it depends on where the film was developed.
>Can I get the same film developed again?
No.
>Or worked on?
Depends on if there's any image at all. But in all honestly there's probably nothing worth saving. Film has great highlight latitude, terrible shadow latitude. Severe underexposure is usually only fixable when it's done on purpose and the lab is instructed to push process the film.

If you're confident you or your camera didn't fuck up
Then the only possibility left is they fucked the developing or the film canister was maybe damaged in someway that overexposed the entirety of it
