I developed in stainless steel tanks in the water bath. I remember it worked pretty well. Our home does have a full-house water filter but it doesn't deionize the water. I may fire up the old water bath and try using deionized water for developing and rinsing the Tri-X. Should work, it used to. I WAS planning on letting my local photo lab develop my film and print contact sheets for me but today I found out they send it out now and it takes 7-10 days turnaround! So it's time to DIYS, I guess. Should be fun. Jim On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 10:04 PM, Bob Adler <rgacpa at yahoo.com> wrote: > Nuthin'.
