    I tend to follow the instructions of the manufacturer. Call me silly, but I rather follow the instructions of the more knowledgeable than think that I know more than people with the expertise. It has always worked for me.

    In my experience I'll care less and less about the wash temp as the I progress through the baths. Final rinse I'll use room temperature. You'll be mostly fine unless you rinse in a vastly different temperature than you're next bath. I'm using the Arista E6 kit.

    Ok. Now that I have some idea of the temperature, what would you guys say about water quantities I would need for an E6 rinse?

    I would like to develop in the smaller Jobo 2523 tank, which requires 270 ml of chemistry both for 2 x 120 films and for 6 x 4x5 films. Should I rinse the film with just one load / 270 ml of water?

    The Fuji kit suggests one entire minute of rinsing.

    In my experience, rinses for C-41 tetenal were something like 30 seconds each.

    Would that mean that for the Fuji E6 kit above, for example, and with the Jobo drum mentioned, I would need two rinses of 270 ml, to make up for that one-minute rinse in the manual?

    I believe that you should use two 260ml washes, each 30 seconds.
