Poly Pan F iso 50 film

I´m still shooting Polypan F and have 30 rolls left, thanks to a generous gift from RFF member yanchep_mike! It will be no funny moment when the last roll is gone!
 
3 rolls left here. Probably will be shot before the end of September.


Then... 50 rolls of rollei retro 100 (agfa apx 100) kept from 2010 in the freezer. Like good old wine :D
 
Nothing changed since I reported my last two 90mm bulks to have same emulsion defect.
I'm still using this defected film to test FSU film cameras which they sell, send to me as working. I load ten or so frames to check exposures at different shutter speeds.
Just did it couple of times this week. Another FSU camera from "reputable" seller to be taken apart to find out why it is dragging the shutter.
 
Due to sometimes an emulsion defect I stopped using the Polypan-F film. For almost the same price I could buy Fomapan 100 30,5m which are also fitting in a standaard bulk loader. For the last one I am using the Spanish bulk loader from AP.
 
In the last 4 rolls I processed this appears randomly, it is not dust or dirt, it is in the emulsion:

never had a problem with polypan, I wonder if this defect has to do with film age (bought it 8 years ago, there was no expiry or production date on the can as far as I can remember)
The film was stored in the freezer for all these years.
 
Single white spots appear randomly on my scans. In an older batch I had issues with black dots after scanning, but I think it was rather messy darkroom work. I stored my Polypan always at room temperature or in the fridge, never in the freezer.
 
We have been straying around in the riparian forests quite often in the past few weeks to collect our annual requirements of Allium ursinum.
