Tmax 100 Developing Problem

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Printing & Finishing : One Thread

Greetings,

Several months ago I purchased a box of 4x5 Tmax 100 when I ran out of Ilfor 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 as the previous batch) all ten negatives came out extremely thin, as if grossly underexposed, but yet there is detail. Additionally, the negatives ahve 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,
