Subject: [Leica] Ups and downs of stop baths?

I've been up and down and in and out on stop baths. Back and forth.
I stopped because it seem for awhile that all the real hard core darkroom
people had stopped using it for all these various reasons. Pinholes. The
shock of the acid making more grain. Or grain clumping. On and on.
They only thing I figured out different was my fixer (HYPO) lasts a heck of
a longer time when I use stop bath. Really conks out faster when I don't.
This is part of general information I'm surprised no one said that yet.
Everything but!
I never got a pin hole in my life.
And that a thing I would never lie about.
"PinHEAD" is a term I've overheard people talking behind my back...
But no PINHOLES from this guys darkroom.

Pinenuts I got once.
