Peter,(posted 8106 days ago)Slightly off your question topic, but I've had excellent results with lford's Ilfosol S, sometimes referred to as "D-76 in a bottle". Very economical (1+9 or 1+14), available in small quantities, great shelf life, and you dilute and mix only what you want to use. Results are very similar to D-76, if not a little better in my experience.
