I'd just like to say thanks to all the people who have offered ideas and suggestions as to why my HIE was fogged. My plan now is it try and eliminate at least some of the factors. Firstly I have bought a stainless steel tank, which should rule out the Patterson. Secondly I intend to do all handling of the film at night in greatly reduced light, (probably under safelight), even though I am using a changing bag. Finally I intend to move the film from fridge->camera->tank & develop in the shortest possible time. If that fails... well it's back to you lot innit :-)
Cheers, Chris
