I've been developing film for a while and I shoot Ilford film mainly - so I have always used Ilford chemicals as I thought that I might as well stick with what the manufacturer has designed to work with their products. Ilfosol3 does have quite a short shelf life though and I keep not using up a bottle before it needs to be binned. As such I thought I would give Rodinal or X-tol a go (or a mix of the two - I know this is contentious with some, but have seen some great photography recently developed that way, so thought I would try it). The benefits being that the shelf life is better, the developer is highly thought of and it would make stand developing better (I do this occasionally).
The question is, can I still use Ilfostop and Hypam Rapid Fixer? - I assume the fixer would be ok, but would the stop work in the same way? If not, what stop and fixer are recommended?
Many thanks.
