These are very informative! Love them! Would be great if you made one about XTOL

[@richardmasseyphotography]

Very informative and well presented. You do an excellent job of simplifying this somewhat complex topic.

[@ThingOfSome]

Great series! What would be cool is if you (or someone) would compare the effects on the film. For example, taking some common film, taking standardized photos, developing it, and looking at the effects on grain etc.

[@qnetx]

Excellent overview. Informative and insightful. I’m curious to see one on Xtol.

[@SinaFarhat]

Thanks for the informative video!

@2.22 you mention using Butane gas - do you simply spray the gas into the DD-X bottle to remove all O2? I assume Butane is an Inert gas?

[@Shaka1277]

Yeah I just spritz it into the neck of the bottle to displace the air! It isn't truly inert as it's flammable but for this purpose it's effectively inert.

[@jeta1383]

Thanks. I might try a bit of spritzing myself. Thanks for the tip
