Anybody seen this phenomenon before:
I just shot a few rolls of Rollei Pan 25 film. I developed each roll separately in Rodinal 1:100 for 60 min using stand development. Each roll had a layer of white residue on it. Not evenly distributed. It was as though it had been unevenly and inadequately fixed. As a matter of fact, I thought I had used an exhausted fixer that hadn't cleared the film completely. It was only after I had touched the film with my finger that I noticed the residue rub off. But no amount of washing was enough to remove the residue from the film. I had to wipe it off by running the wet film through my fingers. I've used the same bottle of Rodinal on PanF and APX25 and TMY-2 and saw nothing like the residue on the Rollei.
Any ideas/guesses?:confused:
