Get a stainless tank and reel, Nikkor is best, and a one liter bag of D76, a very forgiving developer. Some Ilford liquid fixer and some FP4 film. Less than 20 minuets to process then wash and dip in a bowl of water with a drop of Photo Flo. Hang it to dry for awhile in a part of your apartment/condo with hardly any traffic. Leave it alone! Have a glass of Cabernet, "The apples are under control". At 72, I do it at least once a week, you can do it too... but I don't do my own E6 anymore, especially the 11x14 Ektachrome. Don't bother with the fancy developers, you'll only drive your self crazy. Jim. "I still miss Plus-X" Hemenway On 8/25/13 7:54 PM, Bryk Oliver wrote: > I have B/W in my M6/0.85.
