Looks like a pretty distinct pattern, does it look the same on all the affected
photos? Including placement?
Is there a gradual weakening of the defect image as you proceed either into the
roll or out of the roll as placed in the processing tank ? This would implicate
a light leak either loading or processing the film. I once saw something
similar where I used the wrong solution to fix the film and I only realized my
mistake as I examined the negatives after they came out of the wash. I got the
wet film back in the reel in the dark and fixed it properly. Wet film loads OK
onto wet reels.
All the best

Hi Folks,
I processed a roll of Neopan 400 from my Rolleiflex 3.5 E last weekend.
Used a Kiindermann steel tank with Nikor insert. Processed in Ultrafin liquid
1:9 with a pre-rinse, Tetenal stop bath and Tetenal Superfix Plus fixer (4-5
minutes). Finished the film after 10 minute watering with 1 min in Agfa Agepon
(2 %) and room-temperature air-drying.
See example at:

Cathedral)
The film shows the same wavy streaks on a lot of pictures, but not all.
Anyone know whats going on? Was it the pre-rinse with high PH tap water, light
leak of the roll? Film touching itself in the can (loading error)???
I don't think the camera is to blame. Will know for sure tomorrow when I
get a Portra 160 back that I shot in the camera after the Neopan. Very
frustrating, especially for a series I shot in Leiden last week - not easy to
replace! Here is one that looks halfway okay:
