Shelf life of chemicals is always an issue for me, so I wait until I have around a dozen films to develop, and then buy a 1L Bellini kit. With proper temperature control the results are perfect,...

I'm sure you're right, but I'm not sufficiently dedicated to go to those lengths. If it doesn't look good in ID11 then I'm probably not interested!. I think the main reason I prefer FP4 is the...

I'm interested to see that HP5 is the favourite by a long way; Ive never found it very favourable. I much prefer the look of FP4+, which easily pushes to 400.

I think I have exactly what you need. Almost unused and in its original box. I was about to put it on eBay, but you can have it for £65 plus postage (or collect, as I am not too far away from you)....

I clean mine mostly with bleach solution and a suitably sized bottle brush. It usually takes a couple of days before I'm satisfied with the result.
