Comparison HC-110 / D76
Some time ago I posted about experimenting with Foma 100 and HC-110, even posted a couple of negs.
Well still have not got round to wet printing yet (haven't done any printing in many months) but have developed a sister roll to the original roll in D76. So thought I would post the results, not sure any are particularly good shots, but may well do for a test. All six negs were shot on the same day, same camera and within and hour or so of each other so very similar conditions. As said before the day was very bright / harsh sun, around noon and 30 degrees heat. First three scans are Foma 100 @box speed D76 Stock solution 6 1/2 mins normal agitation The second 3 scans are Fomapan 100 @ box speed HC-110 dilution J (1:150) @ 20C Semi Stand 45 min (15 seconds of inversions at start + 1 inversion at 20min) Think the D76 has the edge, after all it is a tried and tested combo, but reckon HC-110 may well do.

Ian, How much HC-110 concentrate did you use ? Kodak recommend at least 6ml of concentrate per film. With 1:150 there's a good chance you may not have achieved this. HC-110 dilution B (1:31) would have been a more meaningful comparison with stock D76. Neil.

Hi Ian,
by copying one of each sample into PS and then inverting them to make positives of each, they both look good on my calibrated screen with good tones and details throughout. I therefore reckon only you will be able to say one way or the other Ian, when you've actually printed one or two from each developer test. All are very good scans btw, as a lot of people on forums usually struggle with this side of the equation. Terry S |

Thanks for the replies.
Neil - Used 6:900 in a larger tank than normal. May well try "B" another time, but for this attempt was just trying to get something to come out. Terry - thanks for the compliment, tried to get scans where at least people could see what they were. Ian

Ian, I've used HC-110 @ 1:99 a few times but only if I want to lower the contrast. I mostly use the 'unofficial' !:49 dilution these days but dilution B (1:31) is bullet proof - and can also be used when pushing the film speed. Neil.

The negs developed in the 110 to my eye look smoother
