Un-diluted HC110 will last at least two years in the original plastic bottle. Put in a tightly stoppered glass bottle, it will probably last even longer.

Properly mixed XTOL will last up to a year in a tightly stoppered glass bottle.

I don't know how long Rodinal will last ... when I was shooting film, I would use it up long before a year went by.

But I don't think about these things any longer... ;-)

The list has done it. I have been looking at all the fantastic Black &
white photos and have had trouble with drool. (Anybody want to purchase a
slightly damp keyboard?)I would like to try some B&W.

Do I whip out my Gossen and open up 3 stops from white?  Is this
something I can do in Raw Processing? (Or should do?) For the moment, I am sticking with PSE 3 but have kept Raw as up-to-date as I can. Are these
workable for processing.

Or do I buy a roll of Tri-X and a new bottle of Rodinol?


Yes.


I think I'd go for HC110.  The amount of film I use these days the
developer will die before I use it unless it has an extremely long shelf
life.

While HC-110 certainly has a long shelf life, I doubt it can stand up
to Rodinal's reputation.
