Response to drying marks on Agfapan 25

Peter, I, too, have had problems with differential drying marks with Agfapan 25. I rinse for 60 seconds in a bath of distilled water and PhotoFlo 200 (I have always used PhotoFlo at about 1/2 strength). I have never had the problem with any other film, and have been developing B&W for over 20 years. I recently took a trip to Glacier National Park, and was unable to use many of the images because of drying marks. I have since switched back to Ilford Pan F 50 developed in D76 1+1. I like the lack of grain and tonality of Agfa 25, but what is the point if you can not be assured of a sparkling negative after drying? I know this doesn't help you out, but there are others with the same experience.
