Photos come out of developing looking like bacon?!

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay. Had to run down to San Diego last second. Just got back and developed 2 rolls and they both came out perfectly.

It was the stop bath not being diluted. I mixed it down to what the bottle said and everything worked fine. I know I can use water but I wanted to see if I could make this work and get the problem figured out.

Thanks for all the help.

Guess I should make sure my negatives get warped too, the women I shoot never look this fine...

😛😀😀😀

Haha, those aren't even the good photos. 😀. You should see when they aren't warped 😉

Bingo. You dissolved the acetate base in concentrated acetic acid! Lucky you did not spill anything or you might now be a finger short...

I got some on me a couple times. Just inches a little 😎

35 looks like it wasn't loaded properly. did you feel it go on smoothly as it shoulda have felt like it was jamming. the 120 looks like it was cooked tbh

Good thing you weren't doing tray development by hand!

Its was the stop bath solution on both rolls.

I agree with using white vinegar diluted with water, I only put 1/3 ratio. I was thinking the warpage on the film was caused when you twist the reel at the same time. Btw, how do you twist it to load the film?
