Before you switch to DDX (I thought you already had !?), may I suggest you think of a five liter pack as three one liter packs with two additional one liter packs given away FREE! All in the same bags. I get more upset that Ilford only sells its stop bath in half liter bottles. I want it in liter bottles at liter prices. I get Hypam in 5 liter cans, cost about as much as three one-liter bottles. And probably less than two liters in half-liter bottles. At the 5 liter price, when in doubt if the hypo is still OK, I always throw it out. Never needed any Hypo Clear. >This really sucks.
