Im thinking of getting back into developing my own B&W film. Im currently looking into getting a Paterson 2 and 3 reel tanks.
Since I've done a lot of B&W in Xtol at labs in the past, I really want to stick with this developer for my own uses. Cost of using Xtol is not concerning me. Foma sells their version in 1L packets. Is their developer basically exactly the same or are there variants in it, during its use or the results you get?
Has Kodak ironed out their problems with their 5L packets of Xtol lately? Or is it still a cause for concern? I might grab some if I know the problems have been resolved.
Anyone use the Fomadon Excel and comment on their results from it? Are the times between it and Xtol exactly the same?
