<p>Yes! It matters! Most film developers will recommend development times for different film, usually included with the packaging.<br>
Also...although the temperature of the stop/fix/wash is not as important, do not put film processed at warm temperatures in cold stop/fix/wash as this could result in an increased appearance of grain due to reticulation (shrinking of emulsion) which is (often) not desired. So try to keep all the following chemicals within a few degrees of the dev.</p>
