(sigh...)
Fixer capacities are all about the same. One is not going to be significantly better than another.

If you use a lot of T-Max, get rapid fixer.

If you want the most capacity you can get and still have your film fixed adequately, learn how to do the clearing test, and then use it to determine when to discard your fixer. That's the best you can do.

Make sure you fix your film long enough. Fixing longer than necessary won't hurt (within reason), but too little fixing will.

That's about it. Why the resistance?

Best,

Doremus

I gave up on this already. I just ordered one of photography formulary's fixers because I needed to order some more developer and decided whatever I'll just bunch it in so that it shares shipping, I don't wanna pay B&H's extra liquid shipping fee. Hope it ends up fine. It's a rapid fixer so.

Should be fine.
