Tina,

Thanks. I am slowly reaching the same conclusion as you (Ilford soup with
Ilford films etc.). My Delta Pro negatives developed in Ilfosol are
breathtaking on the light table. I will, however, run some more systematic
tests on XTOL before giving up on it, as it has some attractive properties,
especially with regard to keeping.
