Response to Microdol-X

With the overwhelming use of slow zoom lenses instead of fast primes, the need for film speed has displaced Microdol-X with concoctions which give more speed. Plus-X @ EI80 and Tri-X @ EI200 developed in Microdol-X are still two made in heaven combinations for beautiful negatives which yield beautiful prints. They seem to be less sensitive to small variations in time, temperature, and agitation compared to the T-Max films and developers. I have not tried XTOL because of all the reports of ruined negatives from bad batches of Kodak's product.
