Hello Folks, a friend gave me a 4x5 Dual Dichro head, and I want to sell it
on e-bay, as I don't do any color work.  I thought I should check it before
I sold it, so I plugged it in and started fooling around with it.  I think I

Since my darkroom use is infrequent, I don't want to mix up
a giant batch of wash aid stock, only to have it oxidize before

variable contrast paper.

Seattle and, when I asked whether they carried Komnica IR film, was
told that it was not being produced - not discontinued, but that no

issues. There are large yellow blotches and most of the negs look kind

I picked up a gallon concentrate of Naaco Zip Fix the other day in my
local camera store.  Anyone heard of this?  The concentrate was

film would you recommend as a substitute?
Thanks
