- I use to wash the film for a substantially longer time than the 6 minutes
- the instructions says -- around 20 or 30 minutes, after which I end the
- processing with the stabiliser before hanging the films up to dry. Six
- minutes sounds just too short for me who is accustomed to rinse my b&w
- films at least 30 minutes and often as much as 60 minutes.
-
- Anyway, than's for the info. Now I know.
