Re: Odd problem with SFX 200...

[David Riecks <riecks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ghosthunter:

Have you checked to see if your fixer is not exhausted? What you describe
sounds like exhausted fix, or too short of a fixing time.

You can quickly check by taking a tail or film clip and immersing in fixer
only. Note how long it takes the film to become clear and then double that
time to allow for the roll being wound around the reel.

If this is indeed the problem simply re-fix and re-wash, etc and all will be
right with the world.

the sprocket holes where on the film as I hung it up to dry. I noticed this
across the entire roll. I did make up some times for developing it in XTOL,
since I didn't have any reference for it, I used 13 minutes at 68 Deg. F for
ASA 200 exposure.
