The kodak stop bath is fine, any good hardening fixer will do, kodak's or ilford's, either one. most critical step after those is to properly wash to remove all chemicals for archival quality. c trentelman In a message dated 4/18/04 10:52:54 AM, lug-request@leica-users.org writes: > From: Matt Shonfeld <mail@mattshonfeld.com> > Subject: [Leica] Black & White Negative Film Processing > To: lug@leica-users.org > Message-ID: <ECB5E2C8-914D-11D8-A532-000393019EB8@mattshonfeld.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > > I am about to develop Tri-x 400 with XTOL developer.?
