I recently developed some E100VS in the Tetenal 3 bath kit and when everything was finished, I took the film out of the tank and noticed that the film leader which should have been clear looked a bit like frosted glass - translucent but not transparent.
It also wasn't like that across the whole film leader: the edges of the film were perfectly clear. As the film dried the(supposed to be) clear sections all became fully transparent - possibly with a greenish cast but with no visible difference between the sections that were clear right away and those which only cleared up after drying.
Could this be from improper fixing or some other dev mistake or is this just from the wet gelatin? I still remember PE ongoing ramblings against blix so I'm a little bit worried...
