What's a good >stop bath and fixer to buy ? I use a couple water rinses between Xtol and fixer, which is Kodak Rapid Fix w/o hardening agent. My standard developer is Xtol 1:3, and it's very close to exhaustion by the time I'm done developing, anyway. After hearing a few here on the LUG talk about water as their only stop bath, I experimented. I haven't been able to tell any difference between using a real stop bath vs. water, so I now use one less chemical. :) -- Eric http://canid.com/
