    Hypo -- what does YOURS look like?

    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?
