Hi!

I processed these two sheets identically, at the same time, using Sandy Kings PVC tube in tray method (with fibreglass mesh).

Rodinal 1+50, 16 minutes, 15 sec agitation at the start, then 10 sec/5 minutes. Water stop bath. 5 min fixing in Hypam 1+4. Ilford washing sequence (still in tubes). Final wash sheet by sheet in water plus a few drops of Ilfotol (wetting agent). Hung to dry overnight.

One sheet might have been in the final wash for ten minutes (got a phonecall), the other about one minute. Other than that, processing was identical.

Look at the attachments. One has severe spots, the other is quite clean. Would this fall under defective film? In the other batch of this film I processed, all sheets have the spots.
