On the unexposed frames I get a nearly opaque grey instead of the usual nearly transparent purple. Needless to say, the exposed frames are not looking too good. I have been using Ilford FP4+ and FP5+ at rated speed with my M3. I use HC-110 dilution B for developing. At first I was blaming it on the airports, but the last set of rolls I was very careful with and had them hand inspected each time. Also on the second of two times through hand inspection they were in a lead lined bag. I don't think there are any light leaks in the darkroom. And I don't think that light leaks in my camera or tank would look like this. The fogging looks very consistent. When I get a chance I will shoot a roll that has not been anywhere near an airport with my R3 and see what happens. Any other thoughts? I've been away for 3 weeks. Did I miss anything good?
