When I was ready to run my second batch of Delta 100 the night before last I very carefully grabbed a roll which was hanging to dry to put it up to the light table to check the density so i might tweak the time for the second batch. It turned out to be completely dry I didn't have to be very careful with it after all. It completely dried in just over an hour. Just like Panatomic in the old days. I love not having to wait overnight for my film to dry before making the contacts. Sounds like a small issue but it makes for a much smoother working system for me. Like I just said I think it's better in Xtol than Pan F in Rodinal. Mark Rabiner
