Hi George,
I used DDX ages ago and gave it up as, like you say, I found it quite expensive. Then I switched to D-76 which was great, but once mixed the shelf life was too short for the amount I develop.
I now use HC-110, which has a life of almost forever and I use semi stand at 1:150. Using this I use 4ml per film (just over the minimum of 3ml), so reckon I'll get something like 250 films out of a litre. Even if you use 1:49, it's only 10ml which is 100 films.
If it works out using 1:150 reckon that's less than 15p a film.
It's perhaps not the easiest to work with, but I'm getting to grips with it and it works for me.
Ian
