Hi all,
New user here with something I've never seen before and can't figure out.

I have a Toyo 45CX in good shape. I ordered a box of Ektar 100 from B&H, kept it in the fridge for a week, shot all ten sheets in the box with a Rodenstock 135/5.6, mostly on the same day. Sent the film off (along with some 35mm and 120) via USPS for development to Photoworks SF not too long after.

When I got the negatives back eight of the sheets looked normal but two of them turned out with darker (on the negative) "blotchy" spots all over. See the attached image. All the 35mm and 120 looks fine.

I'm pretty confused. Doesn't seem like a light leak in the bellows, or all shots would be affected. Doesn't seem like a leak in the holder, or the edges of the film would be affected but the pattern stops hard there.

Bad assumptions? Bad development?
