I've been happily dunkin my hp5 and tmy in Xtol for a while now. But plans are in the works for a couple years on the road in the rv. And space is at a premium. Clanking bottles of Xtol is not the ideal solution.
I dont shoot a lot of film, and I use little 1.5" daylight inversion tubes, one sheet at a time. They require about 200ml to cover a sheet of 4x5.
Something like Hc would fit the bill, but I'm not so much of a fan. I liked ilfosol3 but it didn't hold up well once I opened the bottle. I guess in the big picture tossing half a bottle now and then isn't a big deal.
I've considered trying a pyro developer, but never made the move. If I understand what I read, I'll have to measure 2 ml of solution for each sheet. That seems a little twitchy to me, if I'm off just a little bit with my measurements, it seems like it could be a large error.
I don't want to start another "which pyro" thread, but I guess I kinda do. Anybody care to weigh in on what would be a good fit for my lil tubes. Idiot proof is a plus. Or any thoughts in general. I'll be limited to scanning for a while as well.
thx
