Gretings Thomas,(posted 8419 days ago)I have used Maco's recommended times with XTOl at 1:3 and found the results seriously lacking. Furter testing has resulted in the following: XTOL full strength at 20C in a JOBO processor at 75 RPM for 5 minutes, no prewash. Plain water stop for 30 sec. and 2 min fix in Photographer's Formulary's TF-4 fixer. 15 min wash and 45 sec in Kodak Photo-Flo, then air dried. The negs curled unlike anything I've ever processed, but produced beautiful results, that easily printed without filtration, or manipulation. My ISO with a Lee 87 filter was 3. Please keep me posted on your findings and I will do the same.
