    Are you certain that's a developing error?

    Have you taken the rack apart for cleaning? If so was it reassembled propelrly with the cuved grooves facing each other?

    Do you follow the directions for removing the film clip by gently pressing in on the bars on each side of the clip to remove the tension on the locking ratchet?

    Did you have the proper amount of chemistry in the tank? It looks like one end was not in chemistry. Please check the following:
    Are the curved grooves on each side both facing in, towards each other? Or are the straight grooves or one curved and one straight sides facing in?

    Are either the front or rear release bars on the Film Clip broken?

    Re: Something wrong developing

    Is this a crop??

    I say that because the sheets are inserted lengthwise into the combi holder. ie portrait.

    Which means either the left or right side is light struck.
    What that dark area to the right is I don't know.

    Poorly seated holder?? bellows issue?? Lens board not seated??

    Doesn't appear like developing error "only" to me,

    There are out of focus areas in the picture.

    They are not the result of developing errors.

    The problem began before the film was placed in the Combi-Plan tank.

    Probably film holder errors.

    I used a Yankee tank for a little while, and then I gave it up for using a tray or Jobo expert drum. I made my own sheet holder for a tray, and I've always had great results with it.

    Nice use of selective focus.
    Thanks.
    Can i see your sheet holder please, i think that is my problem, the agitation.

    PS - my father has a 63 Avanti R2 and a 56 President Speedster (yellow and green).
    Really, i love them.
    Yes, F1 at home, in Valencia, last month.

    However, I've been fooled by Studebaker's in the past.
    I don't know, are my first shots on large format camera.

    OP please describe your agitation schedule.

    bob
    I think that is my problem, this weekend i'll try it with other agitation.
    I shot Efke 100 and develope with HC-110.
    Somebody knows what dilutions for stand development in Rodinal?

    Thanks for all.
    Sorry for my poor english.
