giannis Posted March 1, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 1, 2021 Is it by any chance 120 film from Kodak? It looks like mottling caused by the backing paper, Kodak had a couple bad batches in the past that they had to recall. Caused by a reaction between the emulsion and backing paper, exacerbated by humidity and warm temperatures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted March 3, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 3, 2021 other possibilities: water stains on the negatives or dust on the sensor. I have had both. 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly looks like the mottling I got on Kodak TMax100 120 around the start of the backing-paper crisis (Jan. 2015). I called it my "film chrysanthemums." Surprisingly like M9 sensor corrosion (although an M9 played no role at all in my film workflow). But if it turns out to be 35mm Leica film, we're both out of luck. Welcome, dear visitor!

Yup this is what my mind sprang to, though you're right the actual mottling on Kodak films was even worse 😅 The only other thing that I can think of is some weird water/drying marks but the pattern is a bit weird. Maybe drying too fast with substandard wash? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdseptum Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted March 4, 2021 Apologies for not giving more info. It’s a fresh stock of kodak gold 200 135 (expiry 2021). I suspect it may be the fault of my development shop. If it matters i have bought this unexposed roll on a flight (carry on) and it went through xray. only first half of the roll has this problem. Second half looks fine. The roll was shot and spent within the same day. Thanks for all your info! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryel Posted March 6, 2021 Share #7 Posted March 6, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I think x-ray would have fogged the film, not live some marks. Any chance that the film was not washed properly? You can try to wash it again in a dust free environment or ask the shop that processed it. Hope this helps!

gbealnz Posted March 11, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 11, 2021 I was of the "120 backing paper problem from a few years back" scenario until you mentioned fresh Gold in 35mm. What does the surface of the neg look like, it will be difficult to photograph, but look at it obliquely, as sometimes there are water marks etc left on the surface. And if there is something deposited, maybe try a strip with less important images, and soak it for a short time, and re-dry it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
