Hello, I've looked online for what type of chemicals to use when developing 110 Film. All I could find was information on loading it onto a reel, not the actual chemistry of what you're using. Can someone fill me in as to what I need to do to develop it myself. I have a darkroom, I just need to know what to use.

Whatever you use to develop other film. If your 110 film is colour, C41. If it's b&w, some b&w developer. It's exactly like any other film, just narrower.

Unless your film is something special, as Don says, just use whatever you normally use. You can find lots of information in the DARKROOM at the SUBCLUB:

Welcome to Photrio.
The previous posters have it correct. Some chemicals - particularly developer - make a bit more sense for smaller formats like 135 (aka "35mm") or 110, so I would choose them over something that enhances grain and is therefore better suited for large format films like 4"x5" or larger.

Grain and general characteristics are based on the film. As noted by above comments, what you use for 35mm will do. As an aside, 35mm photography was once known as miniature photography and 16mm and Minox as subminiature. So use the developer you are most familiar with.

When 110 was common most labs used a developer like D76, Polydol (no longer available. If your 110 is a slower film, ISO 100, then D76 will work just fine, If you shooting a fast like like TriX or HP5, then I use a fine grain developer like Microdol X to tame the grain.
