Greetings Pieter,

Thanks for the info, but I don't think it was the fixer.  I discovered the 
extended fixing times with roll film and applied that to the first 10 sheets 
I developed, which came out O.K.

The problem with these, is that there is virtually no image.  It's as though 
the film was unexposed but fully developed.  The negative is extremely thin 
and other than the very slight grey/green cast it's clear.

Regards,  Pete
