@Yaeli I'm chatting with someone there now, she is saying it looks like a processing error - but I am linking her to this thread as well. My batch was 5080-11.

How did you reach out to Ilford and what information did you include? I don't have anything but the negatives from my roll - I will double check if I have the box... I did fill out their contact form but I have not heard back yet - wondering if I needed to include more information. I'm also...

This looks just like what had happened to me with my roll of Delta. I'll be emailing Ilford now that I've seen this thread as well. Sorry about your film, thank you for sharing!

Wow! A lot of replies - thanks guys! RE: second time developing and reels - sorry! This is my second time developing BW, I have done C41 and experimented with some other things already, I am confident in my loading of the reels as far as the film not touching itself BUT the reels do seem to...

Thank you Vince - I did tap it down after agitation every time. Half the roll came out fine with minimal spots, the other half had a lot of uneven development areas. I’m not sure how the chemicals could vary inside the tank like that, but I truly don’t know much about this process yet.

Delta 3200, shot at 3200. Developed with HC110 dilution B, 12 min @ 68F. Agitation every 30s, used patterson tank + reels. Water as stop bath, fixed with Ilford rapid fix for 4 minutes, washed well (maybe could have been longer) Some images show only the black (white on negative) spots and some...
