Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions for an issue that I'm having with my negatives. As you can see in the attached photos there is some significant fogging present (yes, the negative in the photo is intentionally blank). This particular negative is Adox 100ART, but the same fog is present in all of my films and it doesn't seem to make any difference whether it's a fresh piece of film from the freezer or a piece that has been hanging out in a holder at room temp for six months or so. As such, I think this has to have something to do with me developing process.
My first thought was that it was inadequately fixed, but I have rerun the negative through an additional fifteen minutes of fixer and no change is apparent.
I'm developing in D-76, Stop Bath, Kodak Rapid Fixer (with Hardener), Hypo Clearing Agent, then water rinse, and finally a final rinse with Photo Flo.
All work is done in the Jobo and all chemicals are fresh.
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John IV
