  • Just developed my first roll of B&W in many years. Do people reuse stop and fixer? I made up 1L of each and put into glass bottles, then realised that I probably won't need that much. The guide I was using said to reuse so I've put the "used" stop and fixer back in the diluted bottles.

  • Reuse stop, you get stuff that indicates when it's exhausted.

    For fixer do a clearing test, drop a small clipping of unused film into the fixer and time how long it takes to "clear" I.e. become transparent. It becomes less effective over time and per batch.

  • glass bottles

    Also use the smallest bottles you can to reduce oxidisation (we had these concertina plastic bottles that you could reduce the volume of, not sure if they're still a thing.)
