Developing Rollei 25 Pan/Ortho with HC-110

[Fryderyk Paczkowski]

I almost always shoot on Tri-X and process it with HC-110 but lately I looked through my freezer and found a few rolls of Rollei 25 Pan and Ortho. I would like to know if anyone had any luck with developing these Rollei films in HC-110.

They should be no problem.

I'm looking at the Massive Dev Chat, and it's showing 13.5 and 68F/20C minutes in HC-110 Dilution F for the Pan 25. Not seeing any times for the Ortho 25.

The ortho film in a normal developer will be unusually high-contrast---pictorial but high, not quite a document film but not quite "normal" either. It's an interesting effect; the film has a high dynamic range, and between the two I rather like it as a landscape film.

I used to cut Agfaortho 25 down to Minox-size and use it in a Minox B. I found it to have remarkably fine grain -- seems to me I used to use Neofin Doku as developer. Gave me pictorial-quality images.

Thanks for the replies. I may go ahead and try a roll in the H dilution and see what happens. I guess I'll just pick up some other developer and go by the book on the rest of the stuff.
