Well,

I managed to get off my rear end and develop some film. I took out the Ultrafin Liquid I've used over the past few months, and went on developing two rolls of Tmax 400, at 20 c, at 9.5 minutes as usual.

This time I managed to avoid mangling the film on the steel reels, but hey ... I have never in almost 20 years time seen such ... low density! I had to look an extra time to check if the two films actually were not totally clear.

Both rolls; almost nothing. The printed text on the edges is also extremely faint.

Can I assume the soup is bad? Any experience with Ultrafin going bad?

Bad metering or malfunction of the camera seems unlikely.
