OT but your help is requested

2010-09-18 by paulekohl

This is a small thing but I would appreciate anyone with knowledge who could chime in with info:
I recently spent some time in Budapest on an artist residency. I had decided that I would try and use local film to photograph there. I found this film called Fomopan 100 (645). I bought a bunch of it and now, back home in Singapore, am developing it using TFX 2, Formulary's interesting developer I have been using for several years.
Okay, the question: the film is blue! the film base has a decided blue cast. Is it something I am doing? Some odd chemical twist? I am scanning it and it doesn't seem to affect anything. I have printed some big contact prints and they seem good but the color is so weird!
If anyone can enlighten me about this I would appreciate it.
