Bromide drag ????? I saw the post made with an example like this , and re -fixing solved the problem . I re-fixed this all it did was darken it some .

Developer exhausted ????


I then reshot another roll and changed the dev . to a new batch I mixed last week and got the last two images . Light does not pass thru the neg.

Tom, some more details are needed; developer, dilution, times, film, agitation routine. (Was the first film also Arista Premium 400?) Offhand I'd say the first has suffered from insufficient agitation, and the later effort from over-development, over-exposure or both, but the agitation looks good!
 
shot another roll a the negs are like the last , very thick if if that's the right word . Tri-X dev in microdol 1.1 at 9.5 min. 5 inv then 5 inv every 30 sec . per Kodak. at 68 F

Never had the problem on the other 10 rolls Ive done . ( Not with the same dev batch).

The first shot (the one of the 2 Nikons) looks like surge effects. From over-agitation. I was getting this when I did Inversion agitation.

But, the sympton of dark negs doesn't really make sense.
 
Looks almost like a camera back light leak. It's so uniform and perfect.

Tom,

Does the camera you used have stripes like that on it's pressure plate?
