This stuff is magic but I certainly understand your fears when important negatives are at stake. I have not been as careful as several of you have in storage practices. I do not have gallon glass amber jugs and frankly I don't know where to get them. My best friend is a pharmacist at a very high-volume pharmacy and he hasn't seen any glass gallon jugs come into his store for years. I have een using those brown plastic jugs that you purchase in the camera shops. I am just finishing up the last 5-litre Xtol that I mixed in September. I have never had a problem. I do not replenish and I do not put freon back into the jug. I feel the same way about other developers as some of you are feeling about Xtol. I have compared it to Perceptol, Microphen, D-76, Microdol and TMax developer and Xtol was the "hands down" winner for me. Xtol has become my favorite PAD....you can't get enough vitamin C!!!!!!
