Legacy Pro 100. Rodinal 3.5ml/450ml. Stand. 1 min of inversions and 59 min left alone. Multi-rinse. Fix for five minutes. Rinses and flo. Cat fur and upper left burner look like a they were attacked by a black El Marko 🙁

Every shot with a dark area or black has some of this type of blotching.

When you become educated as you seen to be getting, then you become attuned to the defects stand agitation technique provides.

Look at the exposed leader and see all the bromide streaks. All that occurs over the whole film but is partially disguised by subject matter.

No film manufacturer has stand as a developing procedure. When you make up your own rules, you have to suffer the consequences.

I tried it a few times because of the benefits people claimed. Result was junk.

Could be. I rescanned with same settings as last week and the issue seems to be with the negative. Don't have a loupe so can't be sure.

Any chance it could be the film contacting itself in the reel? Had to load/unload three times and still wasnt sure it was well loaded..

I reckon it's a scanning problem.
Look at the neg.
I scanned this recently and they look sorta similar. Don't know why it came out like this. I tried it again and it was fine.:bang:
PS I call this pic baby hitler 🙂
 
Yep. Was scanner. Thanks all! I booted the scanner with the lid up. I noticed the Epson software looked different. Turned off/on and rescanned. All is well..

Thanks all for the help!!!
