And the diglux 3 will be the Leica version of the panasonic L1 4/3 camera. It will NOT take M

lenses, but rather the new line of Leica 4/3 lenses.

Thanks for the tips. Went back and scanned a couple from my 1st two rolls and they are

spot/speck free. No problems, no dust. Not sure how these have so much dust. Maybe the

photo flo attracts dust?? I did not have photo flo for the 1st two.

I use D76 developer (powder which was mixed into gallon jug) - liquid fixer and water for

stop bath. On my next roll I will omit the photo flo and see what happens. Im thinking its

attracting dust.

Thanks

Just learned how to develop B&W at home and have so far processed about 8 rolls. My 1st three rolls were

very clean. No dust, no specks, no streaks.

Now, my rolls all have these white specks and the only thing I have changed after my 1st three rolls was to

buy and mix some photo flo. Could using photo flo, if mixed too strong make these specs in my

negatives? COuld it be the fixer which is Ilford rapid fix (I re-used it for all rolls)

Thanks for any tips.

I hang dry the negatives in a closed room and like I said, the 1st three rolls were clean. Just not sure what

is happening now.

Sample images...<div></div>

Thanks! I JUST started developing my own and for this roll, I had the D76 at 66 degrees and

developed for 10.5 minutes. Used water as a stop bath, then ilford rapid fixer for 3 minutes.

These have been my best looking negatives yet.

Also, thanks for the comments!

I have had an M7 for 2 months and have been using it almost daily. I shoot portraits, and

basically anything with the M7. The only limitations it has are for macro or tele work, which I

do not need. Everything else can be with ease.<div></div>

Well, I just call it te bean because that is what it looks like.

Great unique shot there of it also! Thanks!
