Response to Infrared 120 or 220 films

Correct, you have to remove the very effective anti halation layer AND you will have to fix much longer than with most other films. Extra fixing will also remove the last traces of the layer. I guess that the first films coming out of Zagreb had a too tough antihalation layer. The one I got were not problem. 30 secs to 1 min will remove it. Try fixing for 5 minutes in speed fixer, otherwise you might have milky negs. If they still look a little milky when they come out of the tank do not worry too much. It disapears after drying.
