Response to Demise of Xtol 1 liter packages?

I used to buy Edwal FG-7 in brown glass 16 0z. bottles until it was no longer sold that way. If you buy it in a plastic quart size container and transfer it into smaller tightly stoppered brown glass bottles it will last a long time.

B & H Photo in New York is selling Agfa Black & White hobby kits for about $12. The kits include a 500cc bottle of Rodinal and a bunch of other chemicals. It's quite a bargain. If you are in NY and can park near the store you can take home a bunch of them. Rodinal will work well with slow fine grain films but it doesn't keep as well as FG-7 once it is opened up.
