<p>Hi Bethe and Charles<br> Thanks for your responses. I thought that could be the reel was stuck above the chemicals. The instructions I received with my developing kit says 300 ml should be enough to develop a 35 mm film and 500 fora 120 mm. I did a test with water and 300 ml hardly covers the reel, so next time I will use at least 400 mm of chemicals to process. I think maybe I am agitating too much as well. I guess, I will have to make some changes, record them all and see the results. So far, all your comments have been really useful. </p>

<p>Hello Bill<br> Happy New Year to you too...and much appreciate your response. Yes, these stains are more visible in the highlights and it is very annoying. I am not sure when you say quantity of developer. I used 1 part of developer for 49 parts of water. Is that what you mean? So, I could use less developer or processing for less time, maybe? Yes, I use a plastic tank which is not really the best. I will try your suggestions and see what happens. Thanks for your time. </p>

<p>Hello Photo. net community<br> Hope you can help me on this. I have just started developing my own black and white films at home. I use Paranol S but I follow the developing times for Rodinal. I notice sometimes the negatives have some stains on the top. I try as much as I can, to get the temperature right, agitation and time. The problem is that sometimes, this problem occurs and sometimes it does not. In the examples below, I used Rollei Retro 400S and it was processed at 20 degrees for 22 minutes, with 10 seconds agitation each minute.<br> <img src="http://68.media.tumblr.com/d4ffff5ba59d0dea2d0dc49fecfaa132/tumblr_oj0jemTN2G1sq6fbqo1_1280.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="826" /></p>
