Question, fogging on the leader end or the spool end? Complete fogging edge to edge is usually one of two things (IMHO). Film was exposed to light by the A. Photographer B. The Manufacture. As this is only on the one type of film and is the same amount (?) on each roll my vote would be a manufacturing glitch. Did this show up on different processing batches or was it limited to one. I had something very similar happen 33 yr. ago with a Twin Lens Rollie, shooting Tri X 120 at a High School football game. Shot 2 rolls, ran them together. One was fine the other was fogged edge to edge. It was Kodak who goofed as we found 4 others rolls the same in that 20 roll brick. Usually heat failure will cause the asa to goof and you can get some fogging but it is usually mottled. You mentioned the X-Ray, if this was the problem then I think you would have more than just ends fogged. Hope you figure it out. Please let us know. BTW was this limited to just one camera body or to several? Cheers Wilber Brian Reid wrote: > I'd bet money that the fogging happened during development. I don't > know the Jobo processor.
