Ektachrome weird issue
Hello Reddit, I come to you in a time of need.
I shot some fresh E100 35mm two rolls from the same batch with an F5 and 58mm 1.4, and send them to a guy that develops E6. Haven't had an issue before, but this time 1/3 of both rolls have these weird curved squiggly lines that in a weird way follow specific patterns of some tones of the film. To the naked eye they look almost like a matte surface of small specs. I've also attached a frame with light reflecting on the emulsion side and next to it the actual photo to demonstrate how it follows the shapes and patterns. I've never seen something like that, and it kind of seems like a really weird issue to be an emulsion defect. Has anyone heard or witnessed something like this before, is it possible that it's bad chemistry or user error in developing and if so how? I have an event I am shooting next weekend, and Ektachrome is my favorite and main film I use, but now I don't know what to do, because these two are unusable. Guy said that he used the same chemistry a few days ago on some 120's and they were fine, but didn't bathe any other with the two I gave him, so we don't have another random person's film as reference.
