If you haven't tried it yet, I'd highly recommend Rodinal developer. A pint bottle of Rodinal will develop dozens of rolls of film, diluted 50:1, so it costs just pennies per roll. I like that dilution because it'll do most films at about 11 to 14 minutes which is nice because then I am not rushed. And it's no problem if you don't shoot film very often because the shelf life of the undiluted Rodinal is pretty much forever. For fixer, I use Ilford Rapid Fixer. I keep a 2000-ml jug already mixed at 4:1 dilution and it'll do many many rolls because it lasts a long time (typically I just use 400-800 ml per use and pour it back into the jug). Try the Rodinal, though. I am sure you'll like it. Keep up the good work!
