A case of 20 250 ml brown glass bottles cost around 40 bucks.
Each bottle develops a one liter tank of film at 1:3.

The packet of Xtol cost $8.80.

$8.80 / 20 bottles = 44 cents a bottle  each one making a one liter
metal tank.

Each tank hold four reels so that's 11 cents a roll.

The bottles last all year on your self. You've got 20 instant one shots
all ready for you to use at a moments notice.

This is much better and easier than having a gallon of D76 of variable
and unknown strength.

Or having to measure out an exact so many mills of thick syrupy Rodinal.
