The negs are great and there are no signs of the short development times. I am using the UFG with the replinisher and it works as well now as it did the day I got it and have run 20+ rolls of film through it and have had it for several months. The negs grain is better than what I was getting on T-MAx 400 and the contrast range and such are much more to my liking...could be I just never like the dern T-Max stuff. And no I have never tried X-tol and have no desire to do so. I have a habit of once finding something that works for me of sticking with it and not experimenting a lot. Of course if you want REALLY short dev times try Dektol straight with no agitation for 30 secs...high contrast but printable negatives. Or HC110 dil A @ 100 degrees for 30 secs also works so I've been told. Harrison McClary email: harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net preview my book: http://www.volmania.com
