Nary a problem. Although now that I've told, I'm sure the whole zoo is going to find itself on my negs. I do use a double filter system, that more than anything else keeps the negs clean. My prints are for the most part spot-tone free. The only real problem I ever had was in Santa Monica. That S---hole city used to mix brackish well water with Colorado River water. I don't know if they still do. As it is, I no longer live there or care to go back, at least in this lifetime.
