We experienced some rather odd marks on the film, they are more noticeable in evenly exposed areas (i.e. sky areas, etc.) This occurrence would only happen on XP-2. We contacted Ilford on this matter and they responded that some film dryers do not get hot enough and leave "differential drying marks." Ilford also states it is caused by the special film base they use. We could not adjust the dryer without causing problems with the regular color negative film. These may be the same strange marks you describe. We have not seen this problem Kodak's T400CN. Jeff Alford
