I have been developing film and using 4x5 for about 40 years. I have not tried stand or semi-stand. I want to give it a try, but have a question. I use a Yankee 12 sheet tank that I have used for 30 years. Tray developed before that. That tank holds about 55 oz or about 1600 ml. I've read that for HC110, 6 ml of syrup is required for 4 sheets of 4x5. So, if I want to develop 4 sheets I need 6 ml syrup (at least) and 1600 ml of water. That seems very dilute to me! If I use semi-stand it seems that the film would only see local concentration and not total volume. So-how should I dilute to get the mid-range to go to exhaustion? Using Tri-X film.
I have a Jobo 2500 tank on order, but it is not here yet. Somewhat smaller volume. but same question.
Thanks in advance
