Thanks so much for all the answers! I'll try to respond to as much remarks as possible. It was freshly mixed. I fixed for 9 minutes with fresh fixer (which is twice the amount of time required for normal film). The chemical ratios are correct, as far as I know. The developer was 15ml of HC110 / 485ml of water if I remember correctly. Overall the density of the developed negative is very good. I bought the film in April of 2016 and stored it immediately in my refrigerator upon arrival. I removed the film from my refrigerator about a week before shooting it. Expiry date of the film is August 2017, but I've never seen such dramatic effects when using film which is only expired for 1.5 year.

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I created this account because I've had some issues lately regarding development of my B/W films and I didn't know where else to ask. So I've had this issue for the second roll in a row now, and I'm clueless. My negatives are completely covered in small dark spots, mosty visible in darker (more developed) areas like skies. After the first roll I thought maybe the developer was not well dissolved (because it seemed logical to me that black spots mean undissolved particles of developer), so I made sure to stir the developer well enough on the second roll. However, this didn't make any difference at all. Both films are Kodak TMAX100, developed in HC-110 Dilution B (6m30sec, agitation every 30sec). Does anyone has an idea what could be the cause of this? I've been developing film for 3 years now and I haven't had these issues before. Many thanks!
