[Leica] WAS: Black and White C41 Film now.... SCRATCHES!

Adam,

Let me just add to Ted's excellent developing advice that the negs must be 
hung in a fairly DUST-FREE area...wet emulsion and dust do not go well 
together.

I have no such dust-free area in my cleanliness-challenged life.  So, I do 
everything almost exactly the way Ted says up until the last step when, 
instead of taking the film off the reels and hanging it, I put the reels in 
that homemade film-dryer.

So there's your choice...be clean, or build something so you don't have 
to.  :)  :) :)
