[Largeformat] Developing Problem with Tmax



From: "Pete Caluori" <pcaluori@hotmail.com>

Greetings,
Several months ago I purchased a box of 4x5 Tmax 100, when I ran out of my 
standard film Ilford Delta 100. About one half of the box was exposed and 
processed without problems. I had a number of film holder that were loaded 
with the remainder and they have been sitting around. When I developed then 
(in Xtol, same batch as the previous) all ten negatives came out extremely 
thin, as if grossly underexposed, but yet there is detail. Additionally, the 
negatives have a somewhat greenish/gray cast. All of the chemicals were good 
and the same batch has been used to successfully develop some Delta 100. Has 
anyone ever experienced something like this? What could have possible caused 
this?

P.S. The exposures were O.K. as some duplicate shots were made on Delta 100 
and they came out perfectly. Thanks!

Regards, Pete
