I started out with a wimpy 1:2. The pro down the street chastised me as he was already doing 1:3. I capitulated. I did run 16 rolls in a two liter tank of Tri x 1:2. Did get some diachronic fog. 2000/3= 666 The Beast!!!! 666/15= 41.66 instead of their recommended 100 so i was going with less than half what their lawyers said was cool to do! now i do 1:3 2000/4= 500 and i don't roll back to back so much so it's more like 8 rolls in a two liter metal tank. 500/8= 62.5 mls instead of their recommended 100 and definitely no problem with Tri x or Delta 100 and 400 and Neopan films. The delta 3200 again i feel needs 1:1. mark rabiner
