Having some frustration lately with ridiculous amounts of black specks on my E-6 shots. I'm developing my own E-6, which I did for this very reason - I got a ton of E-6 back from the lab with these specks and marks on them. So that pushed me to do it myself.
They only appear in the highlight areas. I am developing with the Tetenal kit with a dip-and-dunk technique in tanks. Up to 6 sheets at a time. Sometimes they don't appear, some times they are horrible, as in this attached shot. Seems like Velvia 50 is especially prone.
I can see them under a loupe and the emulsion feels slightly rough. I've tried rewashing and physically wiping the film to get it off but it just moves around.
Any clue??
