Hello people,

I bought 10 rolls of expired Orwo np22 / ISO 125 and 10 rolls Orwo np15 / ISO 25.

If I'm correct there is no official datasheet for the Adox XT-3 developer right? Should I use the official XTOL datasheet as reference? On the XT-3 package says only 100 ISO devtime 5-6 minutes. Kinda lost on this one, not sure how I should approach or calculate the development time. help appreciated. I saw its panchromatic film which I never shot, looks interesting.

Will shoot a test roll tomorrow, I also have some HC110 left if that helps, but I really wanted to get the fine grain from the XT3.

Thanks.

At the Adox site on the page of the XT-3 it is explicetedly stated that its developing times are same as that of af a certain version of Kodak Xtol.
At the Fotoimpex site at the XT-3 page you find the same.


I am quite sure that still last week I used a link on one these two pages that lead me without further comment to the original Kodak Xtol data-sheet/time-table (from February 2018).
Today there is no trace of such link. Anyway, last week I filed this datasheet at my Adox XT-3 file. Maybe someone has a better memory than me...

The Kodak reference sheet is available on the Kodak-Alaris site - here. I've attached a pdf of the bulletin to this post.

My point was not a link to the Kodak datasheet as such, but that I remembered Adox linking to it for their their own developer, but that I could find again their link.

So that you are aware, that is a cached link, and not referenced on the current Kodak Alaris site, because they sold the Kodak photochemical business to Sino Promise Holdings in 2020.
The Sino Promise website for the Kodak product business that they bought in 2020 has an expired security certificate, and no longer has a link to the XTol datasheet.

Seemingly Adox did not link to the respective Kodak datasheet, but just stated and still do that for their XT-3 the :

The developing times and the resulting curves are identical to [those of] the X-tol in layered-foil bags which was available until about 2019.

So is there a need to link to Kodak Xtol anyway? Would that link help the user of XT-3 and if so in what way?

Adox do not present a developing-time table on their two websites. Unless the foil bag of XT-3 comes with such table either on the bag or seperately, the uninitiated needs to download it from some Kodak Alaris page.
