Jan,

Not sure which tank & reels you are using, but it looks to me like you are not 
using enough chemicals (and/or during inversion, the top of the roll is not in 
chemicals while they flow back down). I used to have a lot of problems with 
that in my simple plastic tank (the common black plastic tank with the red 
lid, Made in Spain, and sold by Omega and many others), and just with 120 film 
(and even after going to 25 oz., rather than recommended 20 oz.). I now spin 
the tank with my wrist during inversion times (so as to vigorously mix up the 
chemicals -- easier done than explained) rather than truly inverting it and 
that seems to take care of it. BTW you only need to do that with the developer, 
for stop, fixer & hypo-clear, none of this matters.
 
Hope this helps,
Mike
 
P.S. Nice photos

Hi Everyone,

Here are two results from my TMax 100 development in 9.5 min in 1:1 D  
76 at 20° C.

Agitated the first full minute then 15 seconds out of every minute  
thereafter.  Ca. 10 minutes in  Ilford Rapid Fixer and 16 minute  
washing with Jobo Cascade.  Dried after 1 minute Photo Flo 200  
treatment.
How important is the Kodak Hypo Clearing bath? So far I am pretty  
happy with the results, although I still prefer the results I got  
with Fuji Neopan 400.

  I noticed on the right side of both images a row of spottings.  Its  
also evident in this picture from an earlier roll:

Is this the dreaded roller reflection?  If yes, what was the remedy  
this list agreed upon?  Roller replacement by Harry Fleenor?  Or get  
an FX ;-)
