Use about a third of Kodak's reccomendation. Something else, a five minute wash (unless using hypo clear) is a bit short. Best to mix your developer with distilled water as well. Tina's garment bag suggestion for film drying is a great way to go. There is little or no reason to use any heat for drying the film unless you're on deadline and someone is waiting to see the images. :) I had a Wal-Mart variety garment bag which lasted me for a heck of a long time. Never any problems with dust. Also, don't use sponges to dry your film after the Photoflo. Dip your fingers in the Flo, shake them off and squeegee away. Years back an old magazine shooter taught me that. Works like a charm. Walt
