developing Ilford HP5 Plus 400 b&w film
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2005 7:22 pm
I am new to photography and I would like to develop my own film at home.
I purchased a tank, Ilford Ilfosol S film developer, Kodafix solution, and Photo-Flo 200 solution. Each lists the dilution ratio and temp requirement as well as the duration for processing. However, I am wondering if I need to use a Hypo Clear solution between the fix and the photo-flo. [I'm unsure what Hypo Clear is but they did not give me the solution at the store I purchased my supplies from.]
I'm unsure how to proceed at this point.
Also, I was told that I dont need Stop if I rinse the film well enough with plain water. I hope this is correct as well.
I hope I've explained this clearly enough for someone to answer my question.
