I got mottled fogging with a ragged-edge strip down the center of more fog with new Delta 400 in 120. Camera and process problems have been absolutely eliminated. Several people in a couple of mailing lists and on the newsgroups have reported similar odd fogging with their rolls of 35mm. I believe this fogging to be caused by pressure/bending; my Rollei 6003 bends the film pretty tightly around a couple of rollers and rolls the takeup spool tight. Could be there's something wrong with the particular emulsion batch that causes such a sensitivity or could be that the film's just that way, but it's hard for me to believe that Ilford would let it out the door that way if it's a characteristic of the film; that would eliminate its use in an assortment of popular cameras. The batch number I have is 51CTM1T01-03 Exp Sep 2003. John Hicks jbh@magicnet.net
