I'm putting this here but it happens with both E6 and B/W.
for the past 3 developing sessions I've seen some weird marks on my film, they seem like drying marks, but they do not run in the direction you would assume water to run while it is hanging up while drying. I've tried to capture the marks with a camera, but it's next to impossible. So I'll try to describe them as best as possible.
Session 1: Developed 6 sheets of E6, 3 of Fuji 64T and 3 of Provia 100F, Provia turned out fine, the 64T had some mold/fungus type marks starting at the edges and stopping about 1/4" to 1/2" on the the sheet. It almost looks like a area that didn't dry, its a little bit dense and doesn't reflect light the same as the clear parts of the frame. It's noticeable on a scan and when you hold it up just right to the light.
Session 2: Developed 2 sheets of Fuji 64T and 2 sheets of EPR, EPR was fine, 64T had the same issues.
Session 3: Developed 2 120 rolls of HP5 in Rodinal, same marks as the 64T. The only thing the film had in common was the water and 3 drops of photoflo as the final rinse. The 120 had the marks throughout the film, seemed to scan fine.
When I get home I'll try to take some pics again, but trying to capture the marks is very hard.
