Q: 6. I'm buying some film and developer - it's been 20 ears since I last developed film, so I'm a bit rusty. For now I'm not looking for some advanced technique, just the basics.1 gallon of developer, how many films will it develop (120 mm)I'll be mixing 1:1. 1 gallon developer 1 gallon water=2 gallons. So is it almost 20 rolls of 120 film per gallon?And developer is single use, but fixer is recyclable, so what is the ratio, how much fixer should I get compared to developer? Like is it 1 gallon fixer to 5 gallons developer? (I'm just picking numbers out of the blue as an example)How many times do you recycle fixer?I don't live in the US so chemistry needs to be as a powder or it will be too expensive to send, and there are regulations on sending fluids. Stop bath I'll just rinse with water or diluted white vinegar, wetting agent I'll use dish soap. So all I need is developer and fixer.But how much per something like 20 rolls of film?

A: Hello, I only use strait D-76 mixed to a gallon. I dev 120 all the time. I can get about 15-20 rolls out of a gallon. But after the first 10 or so, you want to start adding time, like a minute. If negs look a little thin then add more. the best negs come at the end with all the silver thats in the developer. I wouldn't do 1:1. I have always done strait at 68 degrees. 7 min for 400. Pretty sure that certain fluids won't ship. As far as fixer, I re-use mine till its dead. you can start to tell when the negs look purple after 5 min, so I just got a couple min longer....hope this helps

Q: 7. Once mixed how long does this solution last?

A: The official shelf life for Kodak Professional D-76 Film Developer in liquid form is 6 months in a closed bottle; it is usually good for a bit longer than that.

Q: 8. Whats the shelf life of the dry powder? Can i make accurately weighted small batches of the powder and make lets say 1/3s of a gallon each time instead of making the whole gallon in one go?

A: I don't recall if it has an expiration date on it or not, but I've opened packages that were a couple years old and they worked perfectly fine. However mixing small batches probably isn't a good idea. I imagine you'd get pretty inconsistent results. I'd recommend just mixing up a gallon and keeping it in an air tight container. I've kept it many months that way with no adverse effects. Even if some goes bad, that's better than ruining film with inconsistent small batches. An alternative, if you can ship liquids to your location, would be to look into rodinal developer.

Q: 9. Using D-76 to develop Tri-X 400 pushed to asa / iso 1600. How much extra time to develop film? 35mm 36ex

A: Hi Kelly, I made an error. Please use times 10.5 and 7 respectively. Sorry chuck

Q: 10. Whats the formula for mixing this to develop just one roll of film at a time? I dont shoot film very often and if I made the entire batch, it would expire before I used it all.

A: There's no way you can mix just a portion of the package and get consistent results. In your case a solution could be to use a liquid developer like Rodinal or T Max dev.and prepare just the needed amount when you are going to develop. Rodinal is the best option because is very concentrated and have a long shelf life.
