I use Ilfords liquid developer, no stop bath - just H2O and then Ilford's fixer. Other chemicals I use would be Kodak's hypo clearing agent to reduce rinse time and then photoflo for the drying process. I do a final wash, soak in distilled water. That's that. The other option is to use a C41 chromogenic BW film like Kodak TCN400 - have the lab process to negatives and then you scan them in . I do both this and process my own. The TCn400 scans very well. ernie nitka At 12:29 PM 1/7/2005, you wrote: >It's been a while since I shot B&W and longer since I did my own >developing.
