I'm sure many of you are bored with me ranting about my quest to find a replacement for the recently discontinued Zone VI hypo. I used it for decades.

Long, long, ago, I used Kodak hypo. It came in a glass jar and the hypo was tiny white beads.

I switched to Zone VI hypo in the mid-1980s, which was a fine white powder, and just as advertised, "more conveniently packaged."

Yesterday, my five pounds of Photographer's Formulary hypo arrived.

It is tiny, clear pellets.

And yours?

Large natural crystals, but these are often crushed to a pwder by some suppliers or nor grown as large :D.
