Cheap Rapid Fix
I got 2 gallons (minimum order) of Kodak Flexicolor Fix at B&H for about $8.
ea. How is that different from Ilford RapidFix at $25. a gallon? As I understand it they're basically the same - ammonium thiosulfate based fixer, ie rapid fixer. In any case I'm using the Flexicolor Fix 1:4 the same as Rapid Fix. Works great so far. I'll have to take a peak in 25 years.

Rather, it is our patriotic duty to demand the highest burden of proof to justify war. It is also our patriotic duty to hold treasonous, corporate whore, war criminals accountable for their actions. |
