I think I might be in luck. My S&S holders seem to barely accommodate the 178mm size - assuming the Fuji HR-A film is also exactly 7 inches (177.8 mm).

Randy, I'm not sure, but an 8x10 scan that I did at 3200 DPI was "only" 250 megabytes after tweaking and saving as an 8-bit greyscale TIFF. I think as a 16-bit color image as, I originally scanned it at, it was 2 gigabytes or something obscene.
Sergei - sorry
Corran, remind me name of it, please.. i keep forgetting to put it into constant search
From top of me head - 8x10 scanned at 4800 is 2.2G as 16 bit compressed TIFF. I gave up on scanning them at that b/c Photoshop cant really open them. It exceeds some internal counter and poor thing dies.
I was doing 4 sheets of 8x10 with 30 ml of Rodinal (each individually). 1:50 dilution 1500ml water + 30 ml chemistry. It wasn't until the 5th sheet that I started to see a loss in contrast. Since I shot an extra sheet for each portrait I was doing, I decided to develop two different portraits first, then develop the second copies next just in case there was any contrast loss.
Once I moved up to the tank and hangar method, my contrast went up. I tried 3.8 liters (1 gallon) with 75ml Rodinal, but reduced it to 70ml for 2 sets of 4 hangars (totaling 8 negatives with 70ml chemistry. I might try reducing the chemistry some more, because that's still 10ml more than I was using before in less water.
I don't know how scientific it is, but for all practical purposes it works for me.
