Stock solution vs dilution

[ron3865]

Using a Jobo CPP2 and all things being equal,....should I notice a difference in negs that were properly processed, one in stock and one in dilution? Also, if the min. amount of developer listed on the drum works for stock, would it work for dilution.

I know I could discover the answers myself by expermenting but I thought I could save time and money by exploiting the knowledge of the APUG crowd.

Depends on the the developer. D76 1:1 or Micordal X 1;3 ought to be sharper than stock which will should have somewhat finer grain.

The amount listed on the drum I believe refers to
the minimum solution volume. If you wish to dilute
by very much pay attention to the maximum solution
volume and the least amount of stock strength
developer needed.

The actual amount of developer needed can be VERY
little; eg, Rodinol, perhaps 3 milliliters. Dan
