Hi all!
I continue to process c41 at home. I am very consistent with the temperature, developer at 100F, Blix around 102-105F, wash at 100F, stab at room temp. I always prewash at 100F, soak it 1 - 3 min before pour in developer, and I use photo Flo before hang dry. All chemicals mixed with distilled water. I use a plastic Arista developing tank with a plastic reel for 120 film. I use the little plastic spinning rod insert into the center of the tank, turning it for agitation. I have been noticing uneven development, streaks showing up mostly in the sky portion of landscape pictures that have blue skies. I examined the negative by holding them up to a light source (my table lamp) and couldn't notice any streaking. Could anyone shine a light as of to what I am doing incorrectly? Any ideas would be appreciated!
