Reuse
Checked 21 October 2026
ADOX says ADOX XT-3 may be used for more than one film. It can also be replenished.
Longer time for reuse: After the 5th film, +1 minute for each following film; up to 10 films per litre of stock.
Capacity, as the maker states it: 1 litre of working solution: 10 films when the stock solution is reused; the 5 litre pack: 50 films.
In the case of re-using the stock solution you can process up to 10 rolls per liter. ... After the 5th film the developing time has to be increased by 1 minute for each following film in order to make up for the developers exhaustion. ... XT-3 as well as XTOL can be self replenished.
