Was the second piece of film placed in the developer before placing in the fixer? Fixer removes undeveloped silver.

It sounds like your developer is working. I would dump your fixer if you are concerned about it.

No, the second piece was not developed before.

Thank you for the advice!

Don't dump your chems, they seem fine from what I read in your test description.

If we look at the facts:
  1. Your developer develops exposed film
  2. Your fixer clears undeveloped silver
  3. your film came out completely clear, no edge markings or dark film leader
everything suggests that your camera and chemistry is fine but that you mixed up the development process sequence, either fixed before dev, or forgot the dev step.

OK. I'll try a cheap test roll and see what happens. Thank you!
