Or you can just dip the developed roll of film, still on developng reel into a distilled water rinse thus eliminating water spots and the need for extra chemicals other than developer, stop bath and fixer.

@dgmfoto That's too bad because it works great and has worked for me for many years.

@CatspitProductions Sorry I disagree. Just because the water is distilled, doesn't mean it won't leave water spots.

@tigres162003 Thank you for your excellent "grade!" I'm afraid that I never bulk loaded film ever so I couldn't demonstrate it.

I can see now where I use to go wrong with water spots ie I needed a wetting agent.

@CatspitProductions If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[@dgmfoto]

I did not!
