I processed a roll of 120 ORWO NP15 in Rodinal 1+40 9 min at 20C.
Agitation standard 0-1 min then 3 x each min.
Shot it at 25 ISO and 12 ISO.
The strange thing even at 25 ISO it looks over exposed.
Should I develop it longer?
To me the negatives look a bit too bright.
Also I am not sure if they are fogged or not, as I am not sure what a fogged negative looks like, I assume, but I dont know.
Scanning can be really deceiving compared to wet prints - I can only scan - and I do let it go through Colorperfect which I think renders a much better result, but can often get a bad negative alright.
So my question is - should I expose this at 50 or develop it longer?
The result is here:
Both just scanned as is and inverted as is
and one example gone through ColorPerfect.

Looks like a light leak to me. It will be interesting to see what the people who actually know something have to say.

My time for ORWO NP15 in R09 1+50 is 10 min@20°C
Initial agitation is 30 sec, after the first 30 seconds I agitate for 10 seconds at 1 min intervals.

This film expired 25 years ago, but I shot it at box speed:

I think some of your photo show the camera light leak effect.

I have used my camera quite a lot and it doesn´t have light leaks, or any ligth leaks, it was even CLA´d recently. Maybe the roll itself had a small light leak or took it out or put it in,
