    Highly dilutable developers list?

    Hey, I like the idea of highly dilutable developers, like Rodinal.

    I have raw chems here and have mixed up stronger stuff than Rodinal, but thats apart from the point, Im asking of commercial products.

    Two conditions: single bath and non-staining


    What are some other highly dilutable developers?

    Diluting developers by nature will increase silver migration which can have a diminishing effect on overall negative sharpness and edge contrast.

    Therefore staining developers again by nature would be a much better choice no matter your end needs.

    Cheers

    I dont like staining developers, they are also not useful for customised colour work, which I use rodinal for.

    I was after commercial options of highly dilutable developers, that are non staining and 1 bath, like Rodinal, if there are any, I would say something like being usable at 1+20.

    For example, the developer I mixed up works best at 1+100, 24min for a 2 stop push on GP3, 1+50 is far too active and gives heavy base fog.
