Hmm. Weird. How long did you soak? Jobo says you have to pre-soak for 5 minutes when using XTOL in the rotary processor - maybe that's the magic time for water to completely penetrate a film's emulsion? Whatever, what you're doing works, so there's no reason to change. I was having problems, and the pre-soak helped. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
