Hate to get that once in a lifetime shot ruined. I like consistency. So with Xtol I do 1:3. D76 I did 1:2. Rodinal i did 1:100 or 1:75. I tried higher dilutions than dilution B way back of HC-110 like Ansel was supposed to of but got streaking. All my results from that developer were from terrible to barely passable. So i just dilute as much as i can safely. And i try not to hurt anybody.
