Re: Odd marks on negative -- help needed

[Don Roberts <droberts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With all due respect to these opinions I have to say the marks look nothing like
static marks that I have seen in 45 years of photography.  They do, however,
look a great deal like the drying marks that one sees if nothing like Photo Flo
is used.  This opinion has also been offered by a few others.  My only question
is about the orientation of the marks.  Drying marks almost always streak
downward from the top of the film as it hangs.  I don't know the camera used so
I can't say if that is consistent with this film or not.
