I've heard that exposing film to light prior to fixing but after the stop bath won't cause any problems. It has something to do with the fact that you did indeed "expose" the film but since you didn't redevelop the film it had no effect on the negative. I've always been to chicken to try it and see if it actually works though. :-) As to the stupid mistake part at least you got usable negatives after your mistake. When I do something stupid I end up with nothing but clear plastic or horribly fogged film. -- This would only work with an acid fix and/or acid stop bath. Beware trying to pop the tank lid too soon using a water rinse and an alkaline fixer with a fairly active developer like Rodinal. I fogged two rolls of film finding that out after using an acid fix for years and never seeing any difference. Keep working millions on welfare depend on you ------------------- |

I only know this because my cat told me. Indeed, cats are expert at this behavior. They look at you as if to say "Surely you don't think I could be clumsy enough to knoct that beautiful vase off that shelf." |

All developers tend to desensitize the film as it developers. Pyro developers are noted for this which is one reason they were popular for inspection development. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
