Response to Delta 100 Film - Purple tint

from Pete Andrews (p.l.andrews@bham.ac.uk)
I don't hate it Michael, I just find it irksome that these minority appeal chemicals are constantly being recommended to contributers, regardless of their geographical location.
Photographer's Formulary stuff is just not available outside of the US. Yes, I know I can pay to have the stuff individually shipped, but the cost for small quantities makes it uneconomical, and I'm not even sure if the shippers will handle liquid chemicals, or customs allow it through.
I'm sure I'm not alone in only being interested in processes and chemicals that I can actually get my hands on.
While I'm back on this thread: I'm sure there's a market for a cheap and simple bath that clears this darned stain. Lately, I've taken to using rapid fixer as a one-shot bath for T-max and Delta, since it knackers a normal fixing bath so quickly. I use about 25ml of fixer concentrate per film, and fix for 10 minutes. The film gets fully fixed out, but the stain stubbornly remains.
I'll have a play with a metabisulphite bath or something.
