This sounds very much the source of the problem then. Tonight I will take out a sheet and examine for the sake of knowing one way or the other. I susppose I am looking for damage to the emulsion caused by thawing out the opened packet of sheets, which may have caused condensation drops which are then frozen onto the film and damaging the emulsion, creating this effectOriginally Posted by Peter J.

If this is the problem then rule number 1 is not to thaw sheets unless using them.
Did you drop it emulsion-side down?
Don't believe so cyrus, but next time I'll take note of this.

The mystery continues. I took one of the exposed sheets out in a dark bag and fan my fingers over the emulsion side. There was no roughness like I found on the two flawed sheets. Unless it only becomes apparent after development the thaw and freeze theory might not be the problem after all. I'll try another sheet from the same batch, this time developed in a drum rather than a tray, and I'll use filtered water. I'm really hoping this works as I have some exposed film of my wife in front of the same mirror and lamp using the Imagon and apart from the obvious problem of the first two it looks like a reasonable picture could be made.

When you took the picture, did you notice a plague of locusts flying around the room...?
......or in the bellows.
Other than that I am going with a water problem.

Expose and develop a test negative.

What kind of bottles are you using for fixer storage?
The insides of the brown plastic photo bottles can flake off if fix is stored for too long.
That would be a biblical proportion plague, nope, was in a nice apartment for the weekend.
