Sometimes it works fine, other times blank film or at least very very thin film. My solution? Use Tri-X and XTOL.

A roll of less-antique film in the same tank came out fine. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
