Response to What is the purpose of stop bath? (Regards to Film)

from Brian Hinther (BrianH@sd314.k12.id.us)
An acid stop bath can cause pinholes in the film if used following a developer high in carbonate (such as Paterson developers and other high acutance formulas). The safest thing is to use a water rinse before the fixer. I fill the tank three times and agitate for about 10 seconds each.
