reellifeross Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Does anyone know what these lines on my negative are? Details: Camera: Yashica D Film: Rollei RPX 25 Aperture: 22 Shutter Speed: 1 Sec Developer: HC-110 | 20° | 5 min Stop: Kodak Stop | 1min Fixer: Ilford Rapid Fixer | 5min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose_angel Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I assume the lines are certainly on the negative, not produced at the scanning process. Isn't it? How do you developed the film? Small tank? Rotary processor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reellifeross Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) They are on the negative and it looks like its on every negative in the roll. This is the only time I have seen this on my negatives. I develop using a small Paterson tanks and plastic reel. I also developed a roll of 120 Rollei Ortho Plus 25 today after the Rollei RPX 25 with no issues, using similar times and developer dilution.

SilverDog Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Perhaps a flaw in manufacturing of the film when the emulsion was applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 My guess is stale film or damp storage, and the texture is from contact with the backing paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reellifeross Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Ok cool. Thanks for the replies. That makes me feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose_angel Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Rodeo`s guessing makes sense. Could you still check the backing paper? Maybe other rolls of the same batch show the same problem. I think it is not an optical issue, nor a developing failure. The manufacturing idea could be right, too. Never seen this before.

reellifeross Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Really appreciate all the help. These are all new skills for me 🙂 I will have a look and see if I still have the backing paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 100% sure way to know, is when you see the numbers on the backing paper. I don't see them in the pictures shown. (Which doesn't mean it isn't backing paper.) Sometimes I am surprised that the paper is against the film for 50 years, and not cause some effect. But a little humidity, and only a short time, and it sticks to the film. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
