Jeffrey,
The ads/instructions with 777 said you had to use a film container twice
the size of the number of rolls being developed--that is, if I continue to
develop three rolls at a time, I'll have to buy a tank large enough for 6
rolls. I gave up reading at that point. Are you having to do this?
Also, did you run some waste rolls through the brew first in order to
age the stuff, like the instructions said? Are you mixing your own, or
buying the stuff from someone?
