I've been developing a couple of rolls 35mm B&W lately and my last roll got all this white thick lines in almost every photo (see link). The question is simple, what did I do wrong? (Don't want to make the same mistake again).
Misstakes I know I did whit this roll (Yes, I'm new to this):
Didn't let it dry long enough (1h - 1,5h only)
Took quite some time to mount the roll to the spiral in the dark (It aint easy!!!)
Twisted the "gear" for rolling back the film on the Nikon F3 the wrong way before realising it goes the other way
My gear:
Nikon F3 35mm
Kodak Tri-X 400
Paterson dev tank
Dark bag for getting the film in the spiral
Precise measuring tools
Precise chemical thermometer
Div stuff you need
My process (based on Ilfords website):
Ilfotec DD-X Developer
20c 8min
1+4 mix (60ml dev + 240ml water)
Agitate according to Ilford website (First 10 sec and again for 10 sec at the start of every further minute + tap in the bench to dislodge any air bubbles)
Ilfostop
20c 20sec
1+19 mix (15ml stop + 285ml water)
One agitation
Ilford Rapid Fixer
20c 4min
1+4 mix (60ml dev + 240ml water)
Same agitation as Developer
Cleaning
20c 10min
Under running water
After 10min - applying a few drops of wetting agent + 1 agitation
Than I hang it up for drying (only did this for about 1-1,5h on this film)
Photos are quite poorly scanned but I can clearly see the lines on the negative so it's not my scanning process.
