Leica M3 / Voigtländer 40mm f1.4 classic / Kodak trix400 @1600
Second time using a changing bag for film development. The film kept jamming badly in the spiral and got stuck. I tried trimming the leader a few times to improve it, but the film jammed every time. Sweaty hands in the tight bag didn’t help, and I almost gave up and considered developing the film loose in the tank without a spiral. Then I took the roll apart and started feeding the film from the tail end, and it went on perfectly on the first try. There are lots of creases visible in the negatives, but in some frames like this one they don’t bother me and actually add a nice reminder of the challenges of developing the film.
