It will cause the >emulsion to swell and become VERY soft! All of the water I use in my processing is run through a water filter. I live in an area with hard Limestone water...I have had no problems with spotting. Have never use distilled water. Also as someone else suggested...cut your photo flo time back to appx 30 sec. No need for longer. I also never use the film squegee...I dry my film in a Senrac film dryer...the only problems I have ever encountered with this is a tendency for the Tri-x or Neopan to stick to the reels if allowed to get too cool before removing from the reel. For some reason this does not happen with TMAX films. Good luck. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto Preview my book: http://www.volmania.com mail: mcclary@iname.com
