If dust seems objectionable then enlarge grain size! Huss has shown the way.

Yes, I'll look at another's pic and think how authentic it looks. Mine is more a product of giving up after blasting it 3 or 4 times with a blower.
Nikon F3, Maxxum 9, Fujicolor 200. Originally was going to give the roll to a friend of mine to shoot on top of. Ironically, the first go-round with the roll was shot pre-covid but entirely inside and around the house.

It could be due to exhausted fixer. Try a fresh one or fix for longer.

Thank you SergeyT! I’ll prepare some new fixer this weekend as I’ve been itching to try Stand/Semi-Stand developing in some newly acquired Adox Rodinal. I’ve been developing in Cinestill’s monobath (Df96) recently, so I haven’t developed B&W film the traditional (separate baths) way. I have a sneaky feeling my previous fixer was exhausted. I’ll shoot some TriX this weekend and develop in the traditional (multi bath) way. I’ll let you know how it works out.
thanks! they sure do grow fast - super rewarding developing these 6 really old rolls recently.
