ILFORD Rapid fixer 1 LT

Mixing this concentrate is straightforward, and the 40-minute top-end working temperature gives me peace of mind during hot summer darkroom sessions. Clears film fast without any hardening.

I’ve been using this fixer at room temperature around 24°C and it clears the film in under two minutes with no issues. The liquid concentrate mixes easily and lasts through several sessions.

Mixed a fresh batch at 20°C and cleared a roll of Tri-X in under three minutes flat—no signs of exhaustion even after several rolls. The concentrate is easy to dilute and the working solution stays clear, which is exactly what I want for consistent negatives.
