Guys,
Just developed a couplf of rolls and major grey streaks and blotchy foggy patches runnign the length of the roll...within these blotchy greyness are streaks running verticlally seemingly from the sprocket holes....never seen this before, - but in general, a large splotchy grrey fog meandering up the centre of the roll of film.
The one I did last night had the same thing,just a milder version of it,; todays roll is a disaster area.
Within this mess you still have the photos underneath all this, just unprintable.
The fixer seems to be alright, it clears film leader in normal time.
I am wondering if my Ilford film developer has gone off. The bottle is only about three weeks old though....
Another possibility is there is a crack in my developing tank maybe, fogging the film...I have noticed it seems to drip chemicals from the bottom evrynow and again, Ive had it for twenty years.
Does this sound like bad developer or a light leak somewhere, - perhaps when loading the film into the tank? (Field expediant darkroom)
It doesnt look camera related. The film is Fomapan 400, the relatively new dev is Ilfotec LC29
