Can we limit this conversation to film please?Nevertheless, the first part was VERY interesting, but I don't think it applies either.Here is why: 1. I am using an acid fixer. 2. I am not using a hardener. 3. I am using HCA prior to the fix.Given that, the diffusion theory seems to work, and in my opinion, HT-1 is a very good test, despite its reputation, if properly applied. My comparison to methelen-blue test verifies that. I just like a bit more sensitivity, which I was hoping to get from the other formula.Do think its worth a try?You are using HCA _PRIOR_ to fixing? But there is no hypo present until the fixing is done.What is the purpose of using HCA in this manner? Bert (curious)
I think maybe this was mis-typing. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USAdickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
