What's this? - specks and 120 Catlabs X 80II

[campy51]

Can someone tell me what I did wrong? Catlabs X 80II, HC-110 at solution B for 6:30 and fixed for over 3 minutes with rapid fixer. Is it a wash problem?

Do you mean white specs? I dont think they are was problem. They seem white on conversation so should be black on the negative. Have you checked your negative if they are there?

Nothing, most likely. Was this 120 medium format? This Aviphot film is notorious for giving backing paper interaction problems. This looks like it.

 

[campy51]

yes 120 film

 

[koraks]

OK, well, backing paper problems. It's a well-known 'feature' of this film and tends to be exacerbated by moisture and/or heat during storage. I'd contact Catlabs and ask if there's anything they're willing to do for you.

Not trying to be funny but what are the exact problems on the reversed negative which I assume we are seeing here?

Thanks

Is that a wheeweight on the outside of the rim, or a film/scanning artifact?

I often find myself asking people "Who's problem is it?", as opposed to "What's the problem?". But I can't ask the first question, if I don't have an answer to the second one -- first!

No it must be a reflection.
