Warning: my lab guy in Fresno told me to stop dumping my fixer after one session
I always tossed my fixer after a single batch of film because I figured it was dead, but he told me he reuses his up to 8 rolls and just tests it with a scrap of film leader. I tried it last week with a clip of leader dipped in for 30 seconds, and it cleared in about 40 seconds, so the chemistry was still good. That one tip saved me about $12 a month on fresh fixer and honestly my negatives look the same as before. He also told me to keep it in a brown bottle away from light, which I never did. Any of you reuse your fixer, or do you just play it safe and dump it every time?

Did you know fixer lasts way longer than people think if you just test it first?
