Response to Opinions / experiences regarding DD-X

Joe, I primarily shoot T-max 100 in 35mm and 120, so that's what my experience with Xtol and DD-X is based on. I based my comparisons of the two developers on grain, acutance and shadow detail. To me they look almost identical. Every developer, of course, has its own personality with subtle nuances that distinguish it from others. Had Kodak continued making 1 liter Xtol I would have stayed with that as it's $9 less than DD-X locally. But mixing and storing 5 liters of chemistry just isn't practical or convenient for me.
