I just use the Kodak or some Sulfite if at all. HP5 is not even a tab grain film. I say we're at that point where they expect us to use large amounts of incredibly fresh non hardening fixer for not short periods of time and not just sitting there but with regular agitation. I get casts with my Delta but no where near as bad as the pinko T Max I used to use. The casts if still there when I print have not shown themselves in the print, they print out. Call them filmbase + fog. Mark Rabiner
