Light bands on negatives

[70to210mmf4]

When I processed my last roll it came out with these strange light bands I've never seen before. Does anyone know what they are? Could it be because my fixer might be getting a bit stale?

Looks more like contamination, maybe the reel wasn't clean and had traces of fixer.

re-fix and wash the film, using fresh fixer ... see if they go away

Do you mean re-fix the already processed film? Can that be done? I've already cut them up.

Yes you can re-fix them. You could use a tray to re-fix/wash just make sure the emulsion is facing up.

Just drop them into an open tray of fixer. Swish 'em around a bit.
