I don't do a prewash with B&W, but I think that the longer
developer times (6minutes or more) gives the developer time to
'even out'.
Please correct me if I'm wrong:
Some films like Foma and Efke require a prewash to get rid of the
anti-halation layer - no?
I know when I presoak Efke, bright (pretty) blue water comes out the
tank.
Pre-washing helps eliminate air bells. I add a couple drops of
wetting agent in the prewash water.
I don't pre-wash ilford films, as their instructions are clear
against it - I put the drops of wetting agent into the developer.
