Does anybody know the shelf life of this developer? I was given two 50ml bottles yesterday which have been standing around for a number of years in room temperature. Would the developer still be good? Can I use the developer with Rollei Ortho 25 and Adox 25 Ortho?

Thanks for any information in this regards.

I think they're probably good for decades - the film itself has no expiration date and the trick with the developer is to use enough for one batch and then fill the bottle with distilled water and recalculate the dilution for the next batch - I think they give a table of successive dilutions in the brochure.

I only know about the CMS II developer because that's all I use, but I would think the story would be the same for the original.
