Subject: [Leica] B&W Film Processing

For B&W film users:
I haven't been confident about drying (35mm) B&W film without water spots
or scratches ever since Kodak discontinued their photo chamois product,
but I think I found something to use now.  I bought a Detailer's Choice
Ultra Dry Drying Cloth for drying collector cars without causing
damage.  I cut off a convenient size piece and so far it hasn't caused any
problems. It gets dipped in water and squeezed out before each use.

Wipe once on each surface, with about 1/2 inch in contact with the film.
I use distilled water for the Photo-Flo solution (as well as the developer).
