Hi, I got a bottle of the newer R5 Monobath but it doesn't make mention of capacity. It's not one shot is it? Just curious how many rolls I can run with this stuff.
It is reusable. They don't really state capacity since they don't know what you are developing, and just say stop using when quality of the negative degrades. I used their R3, but not enough to reach capacity since it gave me all sorts of problems with roll films.
Thanks for clarifying. The R5 is supposed to help with the roll film problems some. I think agitation technique during the first minute. I wouldn't be bothering with a monobath, but I live in a Brooklyn apartment. I have a roommate and a girlfriend, and I can't have my home looking like a darkroom haha. Hopefully R5 will work for me.
Perhaps more important is whether the problem of sludging common to monobaths has been solved. Sludging is usually what limits a monobath's usefulness.
I tried filtering sludgy monobath through a cheese cloth once. It didn't catch anything at all. The sludge/monobath may be filterable but would require something with a very fine pore size.
