Hello all,
While developing a Kodak Proimage roll, in a tank of three ( also in the tank a Gold 200 and a Fuji S200 with no issues...) Fresh chemicals, well stored film unitl its use... I've found weird greenish/yellowish stains in the center of each frame. It's in almost all frames and no "in between" the images. (Images where these stains are not present have nothing in common, light , exposure, position in the roll....)
Second example:
Any Idea about what happened here?
Thanks in advance RFF!
P.D: Sorry for my paint skills...

Did u use the same camera for each roll? Looks like a light leak.

Thanks Huss, you were in the right direction...
It was a light "leak" but not in the camera... but in my "light table"
I'm using my XT1 for scanning. I put an opal sheet over a tablet with a total white screen and maximum bright and haver never an issue.... but seems Proimage is too thin or have a different behaviour with the projected light and causes this reflections.
An image to compare before and after :
What I've done is to take some gaffer tape and make 2 "rails" to slide the strip, and , in the middel, a piece of cardboard cutted with the shape of a frame (with some free space around) This way it's blocking all possible reflections and actually works!!
Hope it helps someone
Thank you all!

Good to know! I scan ProImage 100 either with the Nikon ES-2 film holder or a Lomo Digitiliza holder on an LED light pad and have not had issues.
