I experienced a similar/same problem with tri-x. very weird splotches, that
had a chemical look to them. most visible when looking at the film at an
angle rather than looking straight thru. after the third time it happened i
fixed the film for 10min after they cam out the wash splotchy seemed to work
at getting rid of them.. A friend of mine uses the beutler formula and had
the same thing happen to him with tri-x. i don't have this problem with
hp5,neopan 1600 or acros.-daniel
