I just developed the above roll of 120 in Pyro and fix w/ TF4 following the
recommendations in the book. I've been using Pyro for about 4 years now and
have had good results overall. I noticed a random pattern of streak towards
one edge of the film. It is similar to the pattern you get when you take a
wet brush and shake it towards the ground in one stroke. Under the loupe it
is tiny black spots nearly the entire length of the film approx 1/16th inch
wide. Is this left on from the wash process, perhaps? I washed in a 120
metal film tank w/ four small holes in the bottom for 30 mins. that I hadn't
used before. Any knowledge is appreciated- Lib

Check the Metaborate, you either need to mix up a fresh batch or just
shake it vigorously prior to using,.....and mix in final diluted
solution well.

is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918
