Hello friends,

A big disappointment, I took my Rolleicord out of the closet again and exposed a Rollei RPX 100 film and like the last time with the Retro 80s, the film has strange points across the negative, really disappointing. what is that? never again Rollei films? I find it difficult to buy one again. development is not the problem. this time xt-3, last time rodinal. somebody a idea?

Backing paper.
I just had the same problem with an in-date roll of Superpan 200 that had been left in my Mamiya Press back for nearly a year. Ruined 6 shots out of a roll.

It sometimes can happen from storage, but I've also had backing paper mottling from fresh film.

One of the reasons to prefer shooting 220 roll film when possible.

Don't throw it away, if you don't want to use it, reserve it for testing cameras or sell it to someone else (with the problem noted).
