True.
However, I am a (mostly) analog printer.
The main premise of this thread is QC of Shanghai 220 film, so this was presented for objectivity purposes.
I look forward to receiving the actual negatives for closer inspection...the scans are probably not the whole story.
I print analog too; however, my retouching skills are pretty mediocre, so the scratch shown would be problematic for me.True.

You can easily fix that in PS.
@Huss, thanks for your efforts. They are much appreciated.
All I can add is that I've been using recent GP3 100 in 127 format and haven't experienced any of these issues using a more standard dev/fix/wash/dry method. While I still don't quite see how the monobath could do this...I think we need to exclude it by trying more standard methods. Thank you for "taking one for the team".
Passing along my thanks to @Huss as well, the photo above came out great.
I was surprised to see the GP3 in 127, in which I'd be able to use my Kodak Baby Brownie Special again, but no one in the U.S. sells their 127, I've only seen it in 120 (B&H).
You can probably order direct from the Shanghai people.....they also do 620...all these formats are of interest to me, though in small quantities.
This a analog-only forum.
I've never ordered anything directly outside of the U.S. and would prefer to order it from within. Concerns would be the amount of time it would take to arrive, the conditions once it's shipped (climate/temperature) and import taxes/duties.
I would hope that if there is enough interest in 127 and 620, B&H and possibly Freestyle, might decide to offer them.
Alright alright alright. So we now know that this is an excellent film developed 'normally'. And for regular 220 usage, just great.
But.... I already have projects in mind where this crazy, random monotone psychedelia would add another dimension to the image. Just gotta pick the right subject matter to let this funk ride rip!
Just look at those patterns in that messed up emulsion...
Dang- Shanghai needs to sell it as an art film! Maybe Lomography can sell it as SplotchyGrey or something. Hope Shanghai gets it under control, but in the meantime, enjoy it for what it is.

Looks like a great film for a late night, sweaty dance floor event...
And if someone shoots a roll that isn't splotched, would it be defective?
Maybe FunkyGrey would be a better name. Hopefully they will be able to remedy the emulsion issue.
Yahoo! Shanghai 220 film has arrived by Nokton48, on Flickr
This arrived yesterday. I'm going to test this stuff in my newly CLA'ed Mamiya C22 with 220 Back. Developer will be D23 1:1 as I remember that worked well with 120 Shanghai 100. An old school emulsion, so just water, metol, and sulphite. Fixer will be fresh TF-4
Just need to finish the roll of PanF+ that's in the C22
Yes, that's what I meant! Make it grungy with a monobath when you need that look.The film is fine. It only does this if developed with Cinestill DF 96 Monobath! So if you want 'art', use Monobath!
When you are elected King, we'll let you know...Shanghai film does not even qualify as an art film. I will not be buy any 220 backs. Money well saved. We can close the thread now.
