A lot of Kodak Photo-Flo wetting agent which I was given for free.
My regular films are FP4 Plus & HP5 Plus, but I will be trying other films in 2014 and may be a different developer.
Rodinal and Diafine. My visits to the darkroom are irregular and can be far between so I needed some developers that works well and are close to immortal. I like the way they make my negs look, the speedincreasing effect of Diafine and the versatility of Rodinal.
Best regards
