Thin negatives
Update: thank you for the help and answers, I have ordered new developer.
Hi,
I'm in a bit of a bind, and can't figure out where things went wrong.
I mixed up a new develop (5L of XT-3), a new Stop (Ilford) and a new Fixer (Ilford).
Some how along the line, something started going wrong - my negatives are turning up thin (blank'ish).
The snip test (which I always do as I only develop 1-2 times a month), show that everything is fine.
It looks over developed, but I am not sure. The edge signing is partly visible, so are the photos. Ilfords troubleshooting document point in different directions and I am lost.
Edit: addition
Kentmere Pan 200, in XT-3 stock, at 19.5C for 7:17 minutes. Rotation, where I subtract 10% from the hand processing time. I'm using B's processor.
Edit: addition 2
Loaded a canister up with 5 frames, used a different camera (Nikon F3) and ended up with a fully blank stripe. See added photo.
Edit: addition 3.
It was suggested that it is caused by a bad developer, I've ordered a new package. Then I'll see if the problem indeed was a bad developer. Otherwise I'll look at the fixer.
