White frosting or peppering on both sides of film ..worse on base and even on rebate of film
granular, powdery and rough to touch
transparent/translucent but at angles uhh opaque?
doesn't show up in contact prints but due to small nearly grain size specks wouldn't expect it to
Developed in Rodinal ..first use of new bottle 1:50 68 degrees intermittant agitation
new finger cots but only on one hand ..using night vision noticed where bare fingers on other hand touched rebate a milky residue was left but probably unrelated
brief water stop
fixer fairly fresh
HCA fresh
rinsed with multiple changes and sat all night ..too tired to dry
photo-flo and distilled
only noticed it hours into drying when placing into sleeves
Only thing I can think of is fixer crystallization but I highly doubt that
Could it be the rodinal somehow? Too strong HCA? HCA was eyeballed poorly and probably only got to 1:2 1/2 in the 500ml bottle
Doesn't wash off with alcohol and good scrubbing
Scratched off emulsion and still there on the base side
HCl dissolved it away
Nearly uniform but not quite ..some areas didn't really get any/much.
The long stand in water ..hard well water? I've done it before and nothing. There were 3 other negatives and they all received about equal coverage so doesn't seem likely as two were covered by the upper negative
