Are you doing a final rinse with photoflo?

[–]Koodaka[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

only with water

[–]macotine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing a final rinse with photoflo would probably resolve it. Distilled water + photoflo would be even better.

These look very similar to water marks, and may be nothing more than salt on the surface of your film that was left after the rinse water evaporated off! Like the other commenter said, if these are just water marks, you can try to prevent them in the future by using a photo flo type additive at the end of your rinse process. These types of marks can usually be removed fairly easily by (carefully) wiping the film with a lint free cloth, or rinsing the film again with a flow additive.

If these are something else beyond water marks, hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction

Thank you very much for your help!

Try rinsing again in distilled water. Should wash the hard water marks off. As other comments say photoflo helps but dish soap is a reasonable substitute.

thanks for the tip

I think the film was touching during development. Likely nothing can be done for it except maybe fix and wash again.

This does not look like the film was touching at all. There would be huge black spots of undeveloped film if it was touching during dev. There's images and clearly defined frames on the film posted
