So i developed a roll of hp5 in d76 earlier and this is what i got. gutted.

Anyone know what it is? I have a feeling the developer has gone off as i've had it in a 2l coke bottle for a good 4-5 months now.

 
Looks like fixer to me

re-fix it with fixer you know not to be exhausted

What? re-fix? is that going to rescue it? as far as im aware the fixer is fine. i'll give it a go though.




Just to clarify, is there any point in trying to re-fix? its been sat in the light now for ages?
 
Yeah, try and re-fix that. Just do it - you can still re-fix after a surprising amount of time.
 
Then it was never exposed or its a developer problem

It's not a developer problem if the frame markings are showing - it's an exposure problem only. D76 in a reasonably airtight bottle for 5 months will probably be okay.

New developer would be good, but the fact the frame numbers developed and nothing else means that something else went wrong here.

Check your camera and/or that you developed the right roll!
 
Back to post #6 then, it was never exposed.
