If you use more, you can't get it in, and it pours out if you do. Therefore, max solution for four rolls of 220 is 850ml. Four rolls of 220, according to Kodak, should have 800 ml if Xtol itself. This leaves no room for dilution. At 1:1, you get basically 50 ml per 35mm roll, at 1:3 you get 25ml per roll. Xtol and dilutions above 1:1 are risky unless you don't fill the tank with film. run two rolls in a four roll tank. JB - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
