For the price of a bulk roll of 35mm Ultra Fine 400, I'm thinking about getting one.
I have not really found info on processing it in HC-110 though.

I want to shoot it at 400 speed......
Has anyone seen a chart on processing it in HC-110?
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place......
Thanks......

I'm quite certain it's Kentmere 400, or at least made by Harman, so you can probably use Kentmere developing info.

It pushes well, I've pushed to 1600 no problem and it printed well too. The only issue with it is that it's kind of dull. A bit grey and not as punchy as I like my film to be. No matter though, I punch it up in my scans and print a bit longer.

It does lay nice and flat when dry though, so it's got that going. Works well in D-76, Rodinal, Tmax, HC-110 as far as I've tried. It's a good film for dull overcast days.

I developed some in Ilford DDX. The chart showed 11.5 minutes but that seems a skosh too long. I'll try 10 minutes next time.

It's a nice film for the price. It has sharp detail and rich tonality. The only complaint I have is that the base has a purplish tint (this may only be the 120 size). This won't be an issue when you print it but it cuts down the contrast when directly viewing the negative.
