being doing self developing for a while but never encounter something like this. look at that weird pattern at the top, there are some negs that is a lot worse practically cover the whole neg. anyone encounter or know what that coming from?

technical details,
leica m3 + canon 50/1.2 ltm + trix400
D76 1+1 9.45min at room temp

You have to check all your negatives to see if it's a consistent pattern. if the pattern is on the neg, also check the lens. Lastly also check the enlarger lens.

i encountered something similar when i developed for a friend
a roll that was 10 years old. looks like your roll has not
been kept properly and resulted in mold or fungus.

Looks like moisture got in resulting the patches and mould

thanks guys. I do suspect it was fungus, and you guys help to confirm that. now I got to be very careful on where I keep my films

just wondering. if fungus already start developing, does it helps if I throw it into the fridge or dry box? my biggest fear will be that it spreads to my cam or lens as this roll has been in my cam for a while before.

fungus spores is just as tiny as dust and it is existing everywhere, just only waiting the right condition to grow.

like it or not, fungus spores already landed everything you have.

Yep, fungus on film, had this in Singapore several times, specially on 135 film, less on 120 film, guess because 120 comes in sealed packs.
By the way , to those couple of analog photographers who still remember me, I will come back to SG in September , after 7 month of absence from this small sunny country, got a new Job
