Hello All,

Never having heard of this before, I come to Apugers. I have been studying the free data sheet available upon request from the marketers of FG7 Under the rubric SOLUTION CAPACITY/STORAGE PROPERTIES one reads:
quote on: "Dilutions of FG7 1:15...will keep for 6 months in tightly closed glass bottles filled to the top...." quote off.
It's advised one can develop up to six rolls per half liter, if all done within 24 hours. I wonder if this means one can develop two rolls of film per half liter, then keep the used soup for later use in tightly filled glass?
Any ideas?

Hi John,

I always mixed as I went with FG-7. Developer is so cheap, film and the time to set up the shot are expensive.

I wouldn't do this. Like Neal said dev is cheap. Once you dilute it, it starts to go bad. Mix just ahead of time and it's always fresh and the name of the game is consistancy.
