>>3935623Why has my ECN-2 developer exhausted/gone bad after ~3 weeks and only 3 developments (plus a few random test strips of 1-3 frames)?
Film is coming out of it very faint and badly color shifted upon scanning. It also has this strange haloing effect around high-contrast edges. The crosshatch effect in the sky is actually the light table. I've had to stretch the scan so much it's picking up what is normally a completely smooth surface.
This is 250D exposed at 200 and developed for 3 minutes like normal.
I mixed it up about three weeks ago and I don't think I've contaminated it with anything. I suppose there will be some remjet swimming around in it but my previous batch didn't go bad until about 2 months and ~10-12 devs. The powder you get from QWD makes 1 liter which I half and make 500ml out of. I don't see why this would be an issue, other than it exhausting in half the time it would at 1L.
