Help with discolored streaks on Ektar - RB67

[yessammassey]

I was noticing some weird hues on the edge of some of the shots made with my RB67 and developed at home. I mostly use Unicolor powder kits, but sometimes use Arista liquid.

Here's an example. Check out the color of the red fire lane curb stripe. It's red hue shifts more pink/magenta near the edge of the frame on the left.

(Portra 400)


But the last roll of film I developed, with freshly mixed chemicals, had some of the same sort of discoloration patches, but they were not on the edges. Here are some crops from one exposure for example, but similar things appear in five out of the ten exposures.

(Ektar 100, with curve adjustments to emphasize streaks)

Not only are they discolored, but they look 'nosier' ... or grainer, I guess.

Any ideas about what could be causing this? Is it more likely that there's something physically wrong with my camera (internal reflections, light leaks, maybe even something going on with the leaf shutter blades), or something wrong with my chemicals, process, or film?

EDIT: The other shots that are patchy/streaky this latest roll , like the one in the screenshots above, have similar streaks in similar areas, but not in the exact same shape or position.

That is a process problem, not a camera problem.

Would re-fixing be a possible fix?

This could be caused by a very similar problem as the frequently encountered '(there was a url link here which no longer exists)' with Tetenal's kit. Do a stop bath right after color development, and these issues will likely go away.

In my experience incomplete silver removal (bleach + fix, or BLIX) looks more uniform. While I've seen all kinds of brown slides in my own tests, I have never seen streaks like these when my bleach was bad. On the other side, since re-BLIXing is the only thing that could have any effect on these otherwise nice negs, you might as well give it a shot.
