HC110 compared with D76 1+1

[weststarflyers]

Agreed!
Stupid me. I keep forgetting about the wonderful and old D-23 and DK-25R replenisher. Great point!
You are right about the 'grainy' results.

How about hc110 with fomapan 100? I read somewhere that it is not a recommended combination.

I did a did some development and densitometry experiments with that combination developed in a rotary processer at 75 degrees F, and my impressions were as follows: Development times were a uncomfortably short. Dilution could fix the development time problem, but then there was a risk of insufficient developer solution. Film speed was a bit low. D-max was also a bit low if one wanted to do a development scheme that would tame contrast to a usable level.

How does that compare with other people's observation for that combination?

One other note about foma 100. T-max developer seemed to work better.

Started in the 80s and this debate about D76 vs. HC110 is still going on...
:rolleyes:

Both of these developers are very popular. This link might be of interest.

I think that's just because the required development time would be inconveniently short with the usual HC-110 dilutions. It does work with dilution H (9-10 minutes). (I'm not a huge fan of the combination---I tend to develop this film in Caffenol for the tonality.)
