I'm using Ilford DD-X to brew 120 rolls, diluted 1:4 as per the recommendations. Assuming that I'm usually making it up fresh, how many films can I realistically expect to get from a fresh brew before it's time to throw it away and mix up a fresh batch? I haven't noticed much difference in running three or four through a batch, although I'd be the first to admit that my approach to temperature control is somewhat - ahem - relaxed.

Any suggestions??
