I have been using this reel with mixed results. I use inversion ajitation as I always have used with other film formats. Sometimes the resulting negatives appear to be evenly developed and sometimes they exhibit overdevelopment in the centre arm area resulting in a light band across the middle of the print. Presumably this is caused by turbulence in the area of the arm. I'm not sure if I am inverting too much or too little or too vigorously. I invert 10 times with a slight twisting motion in the first 30 seconds and then 3 additional times every 30 seconds. I have tried using the twizzle stick method and again one time is OK and the next not. I like the convenience of these reels compared to my Mod54's but I need to resolve this issue or stop using them. Any help is welcome.
