I got the spacing dots on a few rolls recently as well, even with Fomapan 100 which normally is much better than the others.
I've heard reports that Foma Bohemia has figured out how to avoid these issues, and they've been giving people free replacement rolls if they report mottling or spots
Brad,
Here is an example from a roll of Foma 400 (exp. date 11/26) that I shot in Maine this past September. Looks like a Madam Curie experiment gone bad; only half joking on that...going to grab a "meter" and try to get some measurements...

Edd

I love those! I know a lot of people hate this stuff but for scenes like this I think it adds to the mood and character. But I don't like it in other types of photos, especially portraits of course.
One thing I've noticed is that I think the camera matters. I almost never get the backing paper artifacts when I shoot Fomapan films in my Mamiya C330, which has no red window, and I rarely get it on my cameras that have a very dark red window. The ones with the lighter red windows and/or light leaks (e.g., Holga, Diana) get the most. That makes sense, as you need a light source to imprint the circles onto the film.

These four were imaged using FerrumPixWebsite or Latest Release Link for (win-linux-mac-currently unsigned - follow instructions) which has really matured in the last couple months. On a linux site I've had a really unique interaction with Patrick who wrote FerrumPix with some ai assistants. If I missed something from Ps or Lr - He would add it to the all-in-one program. If I wanted something in the UI - he'd put it in - a bug usually got fixed in 24 hours. The pace has been amazing and he obviously knew what a good imaging program needed. If you want something capable, other than from Adobe, for imaging photos, converting negatives, or DAM - FerrumPix just might be a good fit for you. It is because of my eyesight that it's UI caught my attention, and that UI is completely configurable. Best "settings" I have ever seen.

The Rolleiflex E doesn't have any red windows to leak on the film side...that is why I'm going to check for another kind of "leak"...

Ok, good luck.
I just developed my worst-ever roll of Fomapan 400 in 120; the mottling is insane. I'm going to save that batch of Fomapan for testing developers and not use the rolls for anything important.

You should report this to Foma, with the film’s lot number. They obviously have a serious defect in the backing paper, and it will (maybe) help them track it down. Also, I remember a few years back when Ilford/Harmon had this issue, they were great about sending out fresh film as a compensation.

They have been sending replacement rolls. Reportedly they have finally solved the problem and new batches should no longer have these issues but I don't know what expiration date to look for. Fomapan 400 and 100 in 120 are sold out at all the camera stores in my city and I suspect they are waiting for Foma to ship these new batches.
For what it's worth, Foma Ortho 400 doesn't have these problems and unlike Fomapan 400 it's a true 400-speed film. But in 120 format it is really curly; I remember having a hard time scanning the one or two rolls I shot in 120. It's fine in 35mm.
