nowadays almost every film i've read tech data doesn't need hardening
fixers and all the fixers i've seen --i have the ornano one (pure,
distilled, wonderful crap) and a couple from ilford-- are
non-hardening fixers.

however, for "older type" films such as efke 25 and 100 (that i'd love
to try on 4x5" format, expecially the 25 one) a hardening fixer is
required or, at least, highly recommended (i'm just quoting from a
reseller's website).

the question now is: what hardening fixer do you suggest? i wouldn't
want to brew anything at home because i really have no time to (i'll
be glad to pay somebody to do it, if necessary) and have a preference
for easy to find products, since it's getting harder and harder to
find exothic chemicals.

i thank you in advance for any suggestions.

regards,

p.s.: i'm sorry, but i have nothing more interesting or advanced than
this to ask you, at the moment.
p.p.s.: if any of you have a spare nikkor 9/300 and a spare super
angulon 8/90 to throw away, i can't find any for reasonable prices :)
