Hello all, I wonder if anyone can point me towards a possible solution. I finally persuaded my wife to pose for me for portraits (practice for me and on condition that I did not print anything that she did not approve...). Unfortunately, I managed to make a mess of putting my 120 film into a recently acquired developing tank... but my 35mm roll taken with OM2SP and 85/2 worked fine in the Barker dev process - except that when I came to do some preliminary scans I noticed many, many small white dots on the image; they're useless.

Is this likely to be dust from a new dev tank (a different one from the one that jammed with my 120 inside) or have I made an error with my timings?

Any advice, humorous or serious, would be welcome.

This is negative, right? Could the film have lay upon itself and trapped bubbles? Did you rap the tank on the table after the first agitation to jog the bubbles off the film?

I *think* bubbles could create white spots when positivized by the scanner, but I would think they might be more like translucent rings or mottling. If they are like bright white chunks of debris, I'd think it's some sort of contamination after the development process, i.e., dust.
