<p>Thank you both,<br>
Yes this was 35mm film. TMAX 400-2. I don't know if it was expired or not but I have used expired film before and never seen anything like this.<br>
I did have a few issues loading the film on the spool. It took me 10 minutes or so, but I am pretty sure the room was totally blacked out. Also I used latex gloves not to damage the film with fingerprints.<br>
I used Ilfotec LC29 10 ml in 290 water. 9 minutes at 20 C , agitating 6 times in the first minute and every 30 seconds after that. I did that by turning the tank upside down and upright again and swishing around a couple of times. <br>
I then used Ilford rapid fixer 1:9 dilution, for about 1 minute. then washed with water and wetting agent for another few minutes.<br>
This was with a Paterson system 4 tank.<br>
After that the film was hung to dry for a couple of hours. I did gently wipe it with clean eyeglass cloth to remove some drops.<br>
I can't think of any other details...Thanks again for the replies and suggestions, Matteo</p>
