I am not sure, to look at it with a 4x loupe on a light box you see nothing.
But if you catch a direct incident reflection on the back of the film you see
it. Right now I am experimenting with rewashing and as I used a brand new
large size bottle of LFN I notice that it seems to cause some cloudiness in the
rinse water that the old bottle doesn't. So I am hoping that it is something
that can be washed off, but it doesn't look like it.
