Hi Everyone. I recently developed a roll of fuji acros 120 and ended up with black smudges on the negative. It was developed in rodinal 1/100 for 60 minutes. 1 minutes of inversions in the start and 3 at 30 minutes. All other chemicals were fresh. Rodinal 1 year old, but worked fine the week before with Ilford film. The black spots are clear on the negative. When I pulled the film from the paper it did seem to stick to the backing paper a bit. Normally they peel apart very easy. I'm thinking maybe the rolls were bad. Not sure what I did wrong. Not all images were ruined, but some were worse than others. Any possible thoughts on the problem. Thanks in advance...

Photos? Without them we can guess but it would be 10x more useful if we could see. One of my guesses could be the film could have been in contact in the tank and thus the splotches would not have had developer in contact with them. But it could be many many things

For some reason the photo is not loading. I'll try again later. Thanks for the help though.

Make sure its longest side is 500 pixels wide and it doesnt exceed the forum size limit of i believe 195 kilobytes that might be whats causing it

Host it to some image hosting service and use BBCODE to display them here.

If the film was touching the marks would be white not black.

Maybe it got wet at some point and stuck to the paper backing with the emulsion side, gettin damaged when you "unstuck" it?

Yes that looks like bits of paper stuck to the negative to me
