A while ago I posted a note saying that Arista halftone film is *very*
inconsistent in producing continous-tone negatives. I have now found that I
just happened to have a bad box. The film was somehow fogged. I know it wasn't
me because the fogging happens on every other sheet. There is a definite
pattern that you can see on the film.
The tricky part was that the fog was so light that it acts like a pre-flash,
so if you just develop the film normally, you don't see it. It is only when
you expose in full, than you can see some parts get darker that it should be.
I am giving it the benefit of doubt by ordering another box. Hopefully it
won't have this problem.
