I will let you know how I like -or dislike- it. I decided to try a new developer here in Europe, one I've been wanting to try for a while: Rodinal. I used the small measuring cups for these small amounts. I used a dilution of 1+31 most of the time, that meant around 32ml of developer for the big Paterson tank (2 rolls of 120) or 16ml for the small one (1 roll of 120).

Unlike D76, the developer comes in a liquid concentrated form, you just have to dilute it with water. More expensive than Kodak D76, a bottle of 1 liter should be enough to develop 50-60 rolls of 120. As a developer, it works just fine and it's affordable, but I wouldn't recommend powder developers anymore. handling the powder is not fun (and also, you have to wait a few hours until the developer has cooled down). A gallon of product might last 10-15 rolls of film, so I found myself having to make more developer very often, and let me tell you. It comes in a powder and you have to make the working solution mixing it with hot, boiling water. I usually look for a reasonable time, not too fast (less than 4 minutes would stress me out), not too slow (more than 15 minutes starts to get tiring). To choose one, I'd do this: go to the massive dev chart, select the film stocks you'll be shooting the most, and then look at the tables to see the different developing times for each developer. You can find literally dozens and dozens of developers online, each one with different characteristics. I mentioned some developers above: Kodak D76 and Ilford Ilfotec HC.
