stock is the whole of the 1 litre, the other option is a 1:1 or 1:3 mix with water but ilford does not give a time for acros at these dilutions so it is not recommended.

Hi from Birmingham UK

Just registered here - having been directed from the Large Format Forum. Have been on APUG for some time but now looking to shoot more with my Agfa Anso 5x7 - which I really enjoy doing. I am also launching a new retailer of traditional photographic products here in the UK within the next 3-4 weeks....
