I just got done proccessing some neopan in xtol 1:3. When looking at the
film i noticed teeny tiny specks floating in the water spots on the film.
this is my third batch of xtol.  first batch was a 1 liter pack with bad
results, second batch was 5 liter using the rabiner method(bucket,4*1liter
bottles 4*250ml bottles) good results. this time also 5 liter package=wierd
paticulate matter. I use distilled water for all steps Even washing. well
i'll see how the film dries but i might be looking for a replacement
developer. Any suggestions? I like the grain and the speed of xtol since i
primarly shoot neopan 1600@800 for available light band stuff. 1/4-1/15
second f/1-2.8. i never really like d76 i like a little more
acutance.-daniel
