Hi all I plan to give the stoeckler divided developer a try. I'll be using it with fp4. Has anybody tried mixing a more concentrated stock solution and diluting it lat er? I'm also wondering what the shelf life is. It seems to me that one should be able to use a faster EI since showdow development is independant of highlight I currently use 80. Any thoughts? Also, any suggestions for a starting point for dev time testing would be appreciated.

I also wanted to say that the thoughtful comments regarding the recent disaster in New York and Washington show a high level of sensitivity amoungst the contrib utors of this forum. Good show.

Thanks Rob
