I processed a bunch of TMax 400 negs and had an "opaque," white-tan aspect on the film base (not the emulsion) side. What the ...? I thought. This has never happened till now. So I searched this part of the Forum and found:
http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?13672-4X5-negatives-turned-out-opaque-and-tan&highlight=opaque+base
And I just took the negs out of the HCA and put them back in the fixer. In about 4 minutes, they looked the way they should. Personal take: More fixer volume per neg.
And thanks to the LF Forums! What a resource! Great folks!!
