Oh, the never-ending XTOL saga... My experience with this developer started and ended in 1999. I read so much about it over at photo.net at that time that I needed to try it myself. I got the 2x1 L package, mixed one liter of it, and developed two rolls of TMY. The negs I got were almost blank. It took me years to learn about the supposedly defective 1 L sachets. Now one can read about the Fenton reaction in addition as well. Anyway, to this day I kept the unmixed half of it as a souvenir, and just took this picture today to show how the package looked like 22 years ago:
One day I might mix it just for fun. Maybe this half survived somehow
