The prints are noticeably less sharp and had worse grain quality and edge effects than Xtol 1:3. The film was Delta 400 which i just switched away from to Neopans. Some great prints but despite the developer I felt. Why would i use DDT? The Conveniences of a one shot? I've already got that. I grab one of my little brown 250 ml bottles of Xtol and mix up a liter of developer with it just like that. That's a one shot if I ever say one! Cheaper?! It's so rare i go for the cheap option. What a nice relief! It's nice when that happens. "You get what you pay for" is not always what the doctor ordered.
