What I've been thinking is that FX50 as a one shot developer (40ml of solutions A and B topped off with water to make 600ml) does not like going as low as 64 degrees (The 65 degrees stated in my original message was a typo). I used Ilford's classic time/temp conversion chart to get the time for 64 degrees. Maybe that was a mistake. Xtol too, another vitamin C developer, has some issues that non-vitamin C developers don't seem to have. Sam S B. Haas wrote: >Did you agitate ?
