awesome photos guys and gals.
Can anyone give me a cheap fix to getting rid of water stains? I tried a squeegee. Didn't work well. Is photo flo the only solution? I tried dish soap but water stains still appear. Is a final wash in distilled water the best bet? What about mixing rubbing alcohol with distilled water? I'm a complete newbie to developing. Thanks!

Incredibly helpful. I appreciate it. I am going to try another roll and post back here. In the mean time here is one of an archaeological dig I'm currently part of...
It was quite grainy despite being a well lit photo. I'm thinking my agitation method or probably the fact that I overdeveloped is the cause of the grain. Just a novice guess!

I see. I was very confused. Thank you for the link. Why the developing powder has the times for the older film is beyond me. Do they still produce this older film?

I am new to processing so I wouldn't be able to give you an experienced answer to that. I just followed the directions on the back of the D-76 instructions. I had the powder and the final product was one liter of developer. Here is a link to what I used: Amazon.com: Kodak D-76 Developer Powder, B and W Film 1 Gallon: Camera & Photo
That is the gallon version. It says 9 minutes for full strength. Did I misunderstand the instructions? Please let me know. I posted photos earlier in this thread (1 page back I believe) so maybe you will be able to tell me if it looks over-developed? Thank you!
I thought it would be fun to develop on my own and see results instantly. It is cheaper this way since I already have a decent scanner. Once I become more familiar with the camera then I would be fine with putting the money into having it developed and scanned at a professional lab. Sounds like you went the same way! I am also in college now. Hopefully film is still around in the future... I honestly have been happier with the results of film than I have been with any of my digital cameras. Don't get me wrong...I love DSLRs...but there is something special about film that I haven't quite figured out yet. All I know is that I am having more fun than ever with it.
Just bought a penguin case to fit both my Nikkormat and Pentax Q. I will have to use the Q for my college research. More reliable since I'm a novice with film! I'll keep posting my photos here. Glad to meet others using film! Hope to learn a lot here.

How do you go about developing it? I'm using the same film. Just developed my second roll ever using D-76 diluted (1:1) for 12.5 minutes. I'm a noob to this but I've never had so much fun with photography! Don't think I'm going to bother with a DSLR now! Pentax Q + my nikkormat ft2 is all i need!

Can't afford a DSLR so I thought I'd try using a Nikkormat that I am borrowing.
This is my first time developing my own film. Working on refining my process! I scanned the negatives with a Plustek OpticFilm 7600i.
