Inconsistent result with XTOL on Superpan

npl said:
Yes, supposedly

I also think as some others said here that at least one piece of information is incorrect. If 600ml was usted instead of 900ml ..

Even that would not result in a completely blank film as long as some agitation took place.
 
You don't need to replicate the experiment. If the question you want to answer is simply, "Can Xtol be used to process Rollei Superpan 200 film?" then all you need to do is to expose some of your Superpan and process it in Xtol. If you are loading your Superpan from a bulk roll, then the test roll can be a short one.

If you are able to find the leader from the "totally blank" roll of Superpan that was previously processed, and if it is black, then you already have your answer. If it is clear, then another roll needs to be tested.

You could just, "make a rule for myself not to develop agfa aviphot derived films in xtol," but it would really require very little time and effort to find out the truth, instead.

If that agitation was inversions, yes. In my initial post I suggested that maybe the little stick was used instead for doing twists/turns.

Yes i prefer to use the stick. However, developer was mixed in a container first, so i doubt the result was due to flaws in the mixing.
 
I was recently warned about thin emulsion aerial films and over fixing. Could a weak developer and over fixing with a strong fixer do this??? I wouldn't think so, but I'm no expert.
