hmm... best i can see there all the time is 13$ for 500ml... :( I just ordered some from other folks for 9$... we shall see how that one holds up.Quote:

I must have bought the last 3 bottles.

Any idea if they are much different Randy?
Everybody says it's all the same and only good for one shot, But Lee and I have done 8 sheets in hangers with 75ml diluted into 4000 ml. I copied him.

There is a huge thread on APUG with a million different opinions. Sadly I'm using the more expensive stuff and I've calibrated my developing with it for almost all my film, so I guess I'll just keep going with it. $15 for months worth of developer is nothing anyway!
My current bottle says One Shot R09 made in Germany from Freestyle.

I also keep upping the order until shipping changes and only buy when shipping is best.
I was doing 4 sheets (one at a time) in 8x10 trays (with glass on the bottom) in 1500 ml + 30ml of chemistry. (Actually I started with three, but then pushed it to 5 sheets, because I was going through Rodinal too quickly). I have no densitometer, unfortunately, but I started to visually notice contrast fall off at 5 sheets. So, I usually just developed 4 sheets in 1500 developer. I would usually double up exposures, so I'd do one negative from two holders, then since I had copy exposures for insurance, I'd develop them as the 3rd and 4th sheet.Quote:

My processing must have been more vigorous in the tanks and hangars because the contrast went up. I went from contact printing with a 1 and 1.5 filter (tray development) to a 0, 0.5, and sometimes 1 filter.
No science to justify it, just trial and error.
I think I actually did up to 10 sheets once in 3.8 chemistry.
I only have 8 hangars, so I have to dry the hangars to reuse them. That's why I ended up just doing multiples of 8.
So you are saying 75ml to 3800 ml?
