<p>I'm now 99% sure my issues are with having bad developer. I did a roll of PanF+ in D76 today and they came out really nicely. Not perfection by any means, but I'd chalk it up to my learning curve, it seems everything went right.<br>
Now before I get to the next part please realize that I've never shot B+W film before nor developed it. What I realized the second my film today came out of the reel was that the Ifosol I have is not actually developing the film. Excuse my lack of understanding, but my roll today has "missing" parts of the emulsion which my films before did not have. Since I never developed black and white before I didn't realize this was an issue. I'm sure anyone here would have realized right away, but take a look below. It's hard to get a good picture but take a look between right (D76) and left (Ifosol). Unless theres a different way these developers work, it seems the Ifosol has some issue and is simply not developing correctly. </p>
