I've been trying to test both the foma 100 and foma 400 in 120 format for a few days.. The first roll of 100 film came out... interesting.
I've never seen anything like this and perhaps, maybe someone out there has came across this or can verify my one suspicion.
I loaded two rolls into my stainless steel tank. The tank was a bit moist on the inside with water from the last time I had developed film. Normally this isn't a problem as the film isn't sitting in there for any length of time.
Well, I just couldn't develop it right away so it sat there in the tank.
I believe the moisture 'condensated'? on the surface of the film, caused some sort of surface tension? which the developer (D76 1:1) sort of swirled around?
I thought at first that perhaps it was reticulation but my temperatures weren't off by much at all. Perhaps there _was_ fixer residue inside the tank, but why would I get dark marks on the negatives as opposed to lighter/clear?
I'm just stumped. I'm going to develop another roll but I was just blown away by how _messed up_ these two rolls came out.
A very humbling experience indeed!
