Thanks everyone. It would make sense if these were moire lines/newton rings, because they often seem so symmetrical, and the dried Tri-X has such a curl to it. Unfortunately, I don't have a loupe to check the negatives that closely, but just looking at them in the light I don't see the marks. I will have to get one I think, just to be able to evaluate the negatives themselves and in the meantime, I'll try some of those tips to see if I can improve the scans. I'd much rather have a scanner problem than a negative problem. I really appreciate all the answers and input. Thanks again.

<p>Hi,<br> <br />I've been experiencing a problem developing Tri-X. I've solved most of my issue with streaks and drying marks, using distilled water and ilfotol for the final wash, but I can't seem to shake this weird distortion that keeps happening. They generally run down the center of the film, and rather than the usual whitish marks, these look more 'shimmery.' Here's an example:<br> http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17889872-lg.jpg<br> <br />I can't seem to shake this problem, mainly because I'm not even sure exactly what it is. Any help on identifying what's causing it and how to stop it from happening would be greatly appreciated. (Also, if there's a way to get these marks off already-processed film, I'd love to find out.<br> <br />Thanks for looking...<br> </p>
