It was mixed just a few days ago. I just developed a roll of T-Max 400 in
it, and it seems to have come out fine. So I'm pretty sure the problem is
that I diluted it 1:1, but used the time recommended for full-strength
solution. Even so, it surprises me just how faint the image was - I'd
expect it to be too faded, but would have thought I'd see more than I did.
But then again, all my HIE negs usually appear paler than other films.
