You could try Kodak Tmax developer diluted 1+4. 1 litre of working solution can develop up to 12 rolls of film before discarding, but I can't remember the time compensation required, so you will have to read the technical data sheet.

I bought some fotospeed FD10 5L . from AG the price is £31.30 ,I have a roll of FP4 to develope I will give it a go in FD10 maybe tonight ,I will let you know how I get on ________________________________________
well I did try it out it was OK for X-ray film but a bit flat for film not much contrast .but I have been using Ilfotec HC 1x31 dilution ,Its renders lovely contrasty negatives that seem to sparkle ,you have to be very precise with the measurements so I use a syringe, when developing X-ray film I use 2000ml of water with 20ml of Ilfotec HC in my yankee tanks .I find that ILfotec HC gives me a better negative than Ilford DD-X was giving me .I think that DD-X is a very good developer ,but for me the HC is better and lasts a lot longer .From AG DD-X 1L is £23.54 (1x4) and HC is £33.81 (1x31) Dilution . |

I use Kodak HC-110 it keeps pretty much for ever and can be used in a very dilute solution. For my Fomapan 100 I use it at 1:150.
There are examples on "the net" as to many other films and many other dilutions. I guess it has its limitations, but it seems a pretty good all rounder and works for me Just a thought. Ian
