First film rolls developed
I just finished developing my first rolls of BW film in many, many years. Although my techniques and timing are extremely rusty, it went pretty well overall.
When I removed the rolls from the tank to dry, I noticed that there are a handful of small dark spots along one edge of the film on one of the rolls. I developed 2 rolls at the same time and the one with the spots was on the bottom of the tank. Both were shot from the same camera. I'll take pictures of it and attach to this thread. In the meantime, any ideas of what might be the cause? My suspicion is that it might have been a few air bubbles trapped against the film. If it were light leaks on the camera, I would think that the spots would be even and run across the entire strip of film (and would probably be on both rolls). It was also the first 2 rolls of film I've ever shot and developed from the camera (an eBay purchase). The tank I used is a plastic Samigon double tank with plastic reels.
I'm very appreciative of all of you on this site, as this site has been tremendously helpful in re-learning everything related to photography!
