This roll of film was ruined by Ilford's notorious 'measles', which is visible in the image.  I've had quite a few rolls affected by this, it means that I can't make prints and sell them.  The only way I've found to avoid the problem is to use up and process the film asap after the film has been loaded in the camera.  It's infuriating, especially given the cost of film, and I won't buy Ilford 120 roll films at all now until they deal with the problem.

It's caused by a reaction between the emulsion and the backing paper, probably humidity related.  Ilford 35mm films do not seem to have the problem, Delta 100 & 400 are amongst my favourite films in any format and it's very disappointing that I can no longer use them in 120 rolls.

I had the same problem with a batch of 120 Pan F+ 3 years ago. The lab told me that  it is caused by condensation. Which I don't understand because the rolls come in a sealed, airtight wrap and there should be not so much humidity inside to allow condensation.. and it seems to happen inside the wrap with the film unused: I shot some rolls in a go and developed them immediately : all films showed the same `measles´

As said, the whole brick of Pan F was unusable for photography. I used it up to check for light leaks, film-transport consistency and so on. A pita anyway.  It never occurred with Delta 100 or 400 though.. 

Did you approach Ilford ?

Ilford will replace affected films if you send evidence of the problem.  As I understand it, the problem is related to ambient humidity and films are  susceptible once the seal on the inner foil wrapping is broken and when the film is sitting inside the camera waiting to be exposed, possibly for prolonged periods.

In my experience the time from removing the film from the wrapping to it being affected seems to vary quite a lot, I've had films ruined within a couple of days and others have been fine after several weeks inside the camera.   

Kodak rollfilms films seem to fare better, the backing paper is different to Ilford's which I'm sure you know.

Hi mate, do you reckon this is coming from a damaged roll too? I was helping a friend to develop his roll, taken using rollei TLR, it is rollei infrared 400, developed in ilford HC… i was torn to find the culprit to the point i was thinking my developer is bad.. any thought will be appreciated

Yes, I've had the same problem on some HP5. It seems to be a particular batch of backing paper, my film was dated 2018 but I have older and younger films in my fridge that aren't affected. You get that mottled pattern and often a lot of white (in the print) dust-like particles. As already explained Ilford will replace it.
