Me neither.... but never on photographic film.
Unless the film is extremely slow, I'd be surprised if you got anything useful. Or perhaps put a very dense filter in the way?

Well it was one of these cases that i wasn’t too concerned about contrast grain or shadow/highlight detail. So I’m hoping it’ll be fine.
Tried to buy bellini yesterday but the postage is nearly the same price as the developer. I live in belfast and i only have wex photo. Bummer but I’ll just have to get over it and just buy it
Kodak chemicals are temporarily unavailable this is why we purchase the original mixture made to the exact same formulary which has been sold by Kodak in the past three years.
All developing times, dilutions, factors and replenishing rates are identical and can be applied.
Fleabay has a small (250 ml) bottle at £15.50 inc a syringe with delivery £5.50. Should still last for ages at 6.2 ml per film.Well it was one of these cases that i wasn’t too concerned about contrast grain or shadow/highlight detail. So I’m hoping it’ll be fine.

This is rumoured to be actual bankrupt stock from Sino Promise (or whatever) that was making stuff for Kodak, so might be good...Have you considered the new Fotoimpex HC-110 clone? It is exactly the same as the newest (liquid, not sirupy) Kodak HC110 formula
Fotoimpex HC110
From the description on the website:
I mentioned before Ilford ID11 is an extremely capable and well worth trying out. It has a shelf life of well over a year after mixing I claim this because of my experience with it.the question was about developers…yes..And then something else…and then i forget.. and now I’m sat thinking i really should go out and take more pictures
.

I’ll buy Bellini HC110, it doesn’t look like i can find the original Kodak. But apparently it’s the same as the original. On the plus side development times are in the massive dev app which is extremely handy. It also has times for pushing kentmere 400. Will be handy as i shot a full roll yesterday and used iso800 in the settings instead.
I’ve bought Bellini chemicals for the printing process in the past and had no complaints.
I started thinking about self like after reading the above, i didn’t want to take any chances with expired developer.
I found these Classic Camera Revival podcasts, in which Alex Luyckx participates, good:You might find Alex Luyckx's film developer reviews of interest:
Interesting comments on Xtol on this, particularly the suggestion that very gentle agitation is required to hang on to the highlights. I don't think I'm that vigorous with my agitation, but I'll be trying their suggestion next time.

Don't drink the Rodinal part 1 - Kodak D-76/Ilford ID-11/Kodak D-23; Kodak Xtol; Kodak TMax
yep that’s what i like the most, thats the best thing about it open and use whenever you want - no special measures required
