For development of film now, not paper, what chemistry can I re-use? I'm using Xtol at 1:1 for most things, 1:0 for Illford 3200 shot at 1600. Can I simply pour back the developer into the bottle? That sounds.....iffy.....to me. I'll be continually weakening the solution. Stop bath has an indicator so it seems like that is safe to re-use. Fixer? I appreciate the suggestions everyone has been making - I'm just trying to understand the parameters better. The idea of working hard to make good negatives and them screwing them up because I was cheap on chemicals bothers me. But I don't like to throw away money - how else can I afford to buy another M6? Thanks everyone. Adam Bridge
