Times for Xtol were not listed on the film data information printed on the box. Every other type of developer was listed except Xtol. These picts are important so I think that I am going to run a test roll tomorrow before I take a chance with these. I'll let you know what I find.

I was unable to get a data sheet from supplier, but second hand info allegedly from data sheet says EI 1600, XTOL stock, 6 min. at 68. Believe Erwin processed in both XTOL and D76 and concluded that it was a very good EI 1600 and almost as good as D400 at EI of 400. Suspect that he used the Ilford rec of stock XTOL and 6 min., but only he can confirm....if he doesn't pick up on thread, try a direct e-mail....I only have one body so won't be shooting D3200 till later today and tomorrow. Will use EI 1600 and take off from your results if you have any by time I have run through a roll or 2. The real answer of course is that I shouldn't be so damn lazy (or selfish with time) and test it thoroughly......penny wise pound foolish I guess. Mike Leitheiser >>
