So I recently mixed up a batch of diafine and am using it for the first time. I have also purchased some arista edu.ultra 400 as I am trying to work on my portaiture in 4x5 with cheaper film.
The problem is I keep getting a wavy banding on my negatives. I have developed different films with different developers in the same tank with zero problems. I still have some other film that I'll try in the same tank with the diafine but was curious if anyone else has had this issue.
The last run was 4 minutes in each bath, rinsed twice then fixed for 6 1/2 minutes and washed with washing soda (the same wash ive used for the last year) and I'll try to attach a photo hot of the scanner.
As you can see there is a wavy patern where it should be a smooth diffused shadow
