Jeff: I don't know the answer to your question but I've been able to avoid
pinholes in my negatives by handling them more carefully in the developer,
stopbath and fixer trays: I put sheets of a sponge-like material, used to
wash cars, into the trays to prevent the negs from touching the bottom of
the trays.
