Again, in an ideal world you would have the developer in the tank and immerse all eight reels together put the cap on and then turn on the lights. If your world is'nt perfect then as others have suggested use a pretty dilute developer, long developing time and use a rolling agitation pattern more than inversion. Also, watch your wash times as you need to get clean water all the way to the bottom and back again. I would suggest fill and dump for washing. Enjoy. On 6/15/07, H.
