Dear Feli,

I use Xtol with my Tri-X, usually at 1+3 ,and have never had a problem
with the 5 l packs.  However, I always make up and dilute the
developer in distilled water, I use 200 ml stock developer per film,
and I use the times on The Massive Dev Chart
http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html
for the old Tri-X.
If anything I am getting a speed enhancement as I think I can see more
into the shadows.

John
