2 new flms (for me)

Just souped some Delta 3200 for 7 minutes in Stock Xtol. (Konica Autoreflex, 28mm f2.0 Soligor C/D, 50mm f1.4 and 135mm f3.5 Hexanons) I used various exposures (mean at 2400) and they all look printable, some a bit thin at 3200.

Also souped some Kentmere 400 (Topcon RE, Ludwig Meritar f3.9) in 1:25 Rodinal, 9 minutes. Negs a bit dark and flat but they're northern snow scenes so I'll reserve comment until I print them.

I'll post the proofs sometime this week. Question . . . can Xtol at 1:1 be reused, or should it be pitched? Not done this but I'm interested.

Diluted XTOL or any other developer is a one time use only.

If you want to reuse XTOL either use it as stock or replenished.

Thanks - I more or less figured that, but wasn't 100% sure.

Pitch the XTOL.

Pitch the XTOL.

He means the diluted XTOL you used.
