Comrade silver printers,
I am looking for an odourless fixer formula of the rapid type. I had a bash at T F-3 (see pp 106 in S.Anchell's Film Developing Cookbook) and such strong was its smell that it made my work in the darkroom intolerable.
I then switched to non-rapid Kodak F-24 (see pp 152 in S.Anchell's The Darkroom Cookbook) and the 5' + 5' fixing times were too long to bear.
If one of you could provide me with a rapid formula that does not smell you will help me sustain my tradition, namely, of mixing my entire chemistry!
Best regards, Mako
