I don't know if anybody else uses FX-39, but if you do, the price just increase a lot.
Was just about to restock (I bought a couple bottles just a few months ago) and see that they discontinued the 500mL bottles, and now only have 100mL bottles, at a ridiculous up-charge.
The price went from $12.99 earlier this year for 500mL to $9.49 now for 100mL, a 3.65x increase per mL.
I was often using 70mL of this stuff at a time for 4x5 TMX in a tank. I used to use Rodinal, so I think I might go back to that, or use HC-110 which has been my new favorite developer this year and super economical. Even developing 8x20 sheets in a tray only cost me about 50 cents per sheet using dilution H.
I might shoot an email to Adox and let them know they've lost a customer. Since finding FX-39 I've used 4-5 bottles a year, and I use the more dilute 1:14 solution.
