Review: Great go to fixer - It a great fixer that I have been using for years. Recommended to anyone that home develops b&w film.
Review: Only fixer I've ever used - Ilford has a reputation for the best chemicals in film photography processing. I've never used another brand because from the beginning the hobby and professional community have always recommended Ilford products. I use this fixer with Kodak Plus-X 35mm Black & White Print Film , Fujifilm Neopan 400 Professional Black-and-White Negative Film as well as Ilford's own Ilford HP5 Plus Black and White Print Film and have had great results every time. For such a crucial step in the developing process I can think of no other fixer I would use. Key things about this fixer: *This fixer DOES NOT contain sodium thiosulphate (hypo), and as such you do not require a hypo clearing agent. *This is a non-hardening fixer, as such it may not be great for older or delicate film, but is good for modern film. *Ilford cautions against the use of fix hardeners. I have no complaints about this fixer, it works great for me. Shelf time fully sealed is 24 months, after opening is 6 months. I have used this fixer 9 months after opening, but allowing a slightly longer fix time (7-10 minutes) and have had positive results.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to develop negatives from color film?**
A: No. This fixer is for Black and White film and paper only. Color film is a more complicated process and maintaining a constant temperature during development is critical. See attached link for more information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4nRPckotCw. I hope this helps.
