Like I said, you just need to do this *once*, not each time you develop...you just need to figure out the correct time for your fixer/film combo. Honestly, if you get some rapid fixer and mix it at film strength you could probably use 5 minutes as your time and you'd be ok. One more thing...there are 2 types of fixer: regular, and rapid. 15 minutes with rapid fixer is probably way too long...you might actually bleach the film. The active ingredient in rapid fixer is ammonium thiosulphate. Regular fixer uses sodium thiosulphate. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
