I agree it would not be.
But at least in our lifetime and half the next I think the stuff is good to
go.
I mix up developers from scratch I have my own formals and use classic ones
which are not commercially made ( you have to mix it up yourself, like
Beutlers) but the results I've gotten from Xp2 become embarrassingly good.
I once did a studio glamour shoot with Agfapan 25 in Rodinal 1:75.
I thought it would be a very simple head shot but the model had all kinds of
stuff in mind and I shot my two rolls of film she was just warming up.
The only stuff I had laying around was half a brick of xp2 which had been
sitting in the drawer for months.
The fiber prints I made from both films I marked on the back as I could not
tell them apart otherwise. And I was using a loupe.
