I sent Kodak a packet with an 011 date and received 2 packets back from Kodak. It seems to me that Kodak's actions indicate they do care.The bad packet was bought mail order,therefore,I will only buy XTOL in person so I chan check the date code myself. (For the time being, anyway). BTW Delta 400 (35mm) developed in XTOL (1:1) is my current film /developer of choice.(posted 8767 days ago)
