I have read a lot recently on various forums about Xtol suffering from a kind of suddent death syndrome. I bought a pack of it some years ago meaning to use it, but a bottle of Rodinal I have just seems to go on for ever. At 6 ml per film, it takes a lot of films to get through 500 ml of it. Meanwhile I see that on the Xtol pack it says the expiry date is sometime in 2009. The Ilford data sheets all say that their powder developers keep indefinitely in dry powder form. What about Xtol? Is it likely to be OK still? It is in two packs of powder, presumably to prevent any chemical reactions that would degrade it from taking place. I will try it out to find out, of course, eventually. But still it would be interesting to hear of anyone's thoughts and experiences on this topic. Many thanks in advance for any comments! All the best, John
