So I'm back, STILL experiencing overdevelopment along the 4" edge of my film. Previous suggestions have been to reduce my agitation (I'm done to one single inversion in the 10s/min interval) and to redact the use of Photo Flo on the reels. I'm no longer doing that at all...

I've used Rodinal, D76, HC110 and this is still occurring.

I am STILL seeing bright edges on short side of my negs and I am beginning to think that it's my MOD 54 reel? Has anyone else experienced this? Looking at the reel itself I can see how it may inhibit flow of chemistry along the top and bottom edges.





On the following image you see it along the 5" edges as well, I can only think to attribute this to the fact that you stack 3 negs on each side of the reel itself.
