OK I'm confused...I've always used one-shot development...always.......but nowadays I have to order developer and everything else from either Spain or UK as not available in Gibraltar anymore and thus I'd like to make the developer last.....
So, I've literally just mixed up 5 litres of Xtol and split it into 5 x 1 litre bottles as per advice i found here on Apug from you guys.....so I have the 5 litres of Xtol.
I'm reading the information by Kodak on XTol and it tells me I can develop 15 rolls per litre with time compensation. Fine, that's easy to understand.
BUT I normally develop 1 roll at a time every now and again and thus only use 500ml for a 120 roll....
2. also, im advised to think of a replenished method for Xtol.....can you explain that too?
So my question are:
1) how does this translate to using 500ml in a Paterson tank IF ive decided to use the Xtol and full strength???????? Does this mean i pour 500ml out of my 5 litre stock, develop the film nd then stick it back into the 1 litre bottle with the 'virgin 500ml thats left? so how many rolls and what time compensation do I need now??????
Im sure im confusing the issue here.......
