I have been playing around with Delta 3200, and generally excited at what it has to offer. first roll, process in ID-11 yielded somewhat thin negatives so I decided to try Microphen. new developer, new fixer, proper temperatures. just took the roll out of the tank and the entire film strip is clear. I can see very faint images on most of the frames, barely there, and even the Ilford stamping on the edges is gone. in fact, even the head of the film that had been exposed to sunlight is not dark at all, but a transparent gray .(posted 9114 days ago)Microphen is new, just mixed it today, making one quart. what could have gone wrong? is there an easy way I can test the existing developer and see if it is bad? this has never happened before, and now I am very nervous about ever using Microphen again.
thank you for any assistance. I need to shoot a quick test roll and try a new batch of Microphen, but I am nervous.
