about hc110

<p>Hello all<br>

Did anyone try full stand development in hc110 1+100 for 1 hour with any film.Every comment very much apreciated<br>

Thanks Riton</p>

<p>I find that one hour at 1+100 is too long. Even Dilution G 1+119 was. The magic spot seems to be dilution G at 45 minutes. No I did not have any bromide drag with it.</p>

<p>Does it matter which film you develop for 45 minutes at 1: 119?</p>

<p>I only tried Neopan 400,Tri-X and PolypanF so far. all were rated at box speed. so far so fine. 20C.</p>

<p>Probably not.<br>

And it doesn't matter if you use Rodinal either. <br>

With Rodinal, either 1:100 or 1:150 is OK, so 1+119 should be fine.<br>

Fine, yes. But not better than 1:25 or 1:50............... And, I'm dead serious.</p>

<p>I started out doing stand development with HC-110, and it is a very good developer. I do find it to be finer grain than Rodinal, but a little harder to control the highlights (densest part of the negative). I don't have my dilution in front of me, but I think you're all on the right track. I wouldn't go over 1 hour with it though. </p>

<p><strong>Hold on a minute--<em>which</em> HC-110?</strong></p>

<p>At least at one time (and I think still), the basic dilution of the HC-110 that Kodak sold varied in different markets. For example, with US-spec HC-110, most photographers seemed to use 1+32 or 1+64 and fairly normal development times (say 5 to 15 minutes). However, as I recall, European-spec HC-110 was sold a lot more diluted, and the normal consumer dilutions were much less, like 1+4, 1+8, or 1+10 or something like that, so 1+100 would be a lot more diluted, and maybe appropriate for one hour stand developing. The way to convert back and forth between dilutions was to use Kodak's letters, like Dilution G or whatever. But for this discussion, we really need to know which HC-110 product we're talking about. Right?</p>

<p>I got started doing stand development with HC110. The results were usually quite good. Like Larry suggested, there is a sweet spot. I found 1:100 at 35-55 minutes were good for most normal films. Like everything else, test your times. Start at 45, then go in blocks of 5 mins in any direction you need to go.</p>

<p>I don't know why I stopped.... Maybe I'll do a roll today....</p>
