It is the amount of undiluted, fresh XTOL per film that determines if the times should be extended. If memory serves me, 1-5 rolls uses the times stated, 6-10 rolls should extend the time by 15% and 11-15 rolls should extend them by 30%. >> My reading of Kodak's Technical Data that I downloaded from their website (it has lots of info) says that for diluted Xtol you need a minimum of 100ml of undiluted developer per roll of film. It doesn't say anything about extending time for more rolls. My largest tank holds 4 rolls so it's not much of an issue anyway. The extended times you refer to apply to full strength Xtol. Hope this helps. Richard Wasserman
