Woooaaa! Bubbles? That means that I wont try Xtol! I tried Neofin Blue a couple of times, but got those nasty bubbles. Tried to agitate slowly, but still got them. You can get bubbles if the water or the film is alkali (spelling?) and reacts with the acid in the developer.(posted 8792 days ago)For the moment I use D-76, Rodinal and Acutol/Aculux 2 with good results. No bubbles whatsoever.
