Can this safely be reused without a lot of guesswork.
Or is best disposed of after one use @ 1:4, thats an expensive developer AAAGGGHHHHHHH !
A lovely one , but an expensive one.

What film are you developing? with HP5+ you can use 1:9 and i believe you can use similar dilutions for other film too.
I always use film developer one shot no matter what brand or mix.

Hi, if you look on the instructions on the side of the bottle they give guidelines for re-using it, i.e. increasing dev. time.

I saw that but it does say to mix with unused developer but no quantity given,unless this is based on making a working slolution out of the entire concentrate and pouring the used developer back into the working solution

I think the instructions are quite unclear in this area.

The Massive Dev Chart does list times for Tri-X at 1:9 but i have no experience with that combination. Suggest you do a little testing before developing anything important. Have read somewhere on this site that it should be a nice combo.
