Response to Reel twirler

Yes Andy, I actually do use the reel twirler. I used to not use it, as it seemed just another part to deal with, but I guess so is the lid when inverting. I started using it in an attempt to decrease agitation when developing as my negatives were coming out with dense highlights and little to no detail in lower values. I also read somewhere that using less agitation helps give finer grain. All in all, it seemed to help for my purposes, but I've also been intentionally more gentle and careful about the timing of my agitation, so I don't doubt that as you weren't changing your technique otherwise, the results were much the same.
