agitation

Shawn, Many years ago, in Popular Photography, a lady wrote a column , (sorry but can't remember her name), and in one series she spoke of agitation. I was having a problem with dark streaks coming from the sprocket holes into the film and her answer solved this for me. She said to turn the tank over, back and forth, for the first 15 seconds and, then, two flops every 30 seconds. (Seems too much agitation would bring out the streaks.) I've used this technique ever since. However: I DO NOT argue with your method. Whatever works for you, or others, is fine. Hope this helps. Dave Huffman
