OK - Phase II in my search for a new film to replace the now
discontinued Plus-X. I'm going to try out a variety of new films - I
have some FP4+, I am going to try TMAX-100 Again, and I have ordered a
box of Acros quickloads. Given the cost of Acros quickloads, I am
reluctant to burn a lot of film testing - and am wondering if I can get
the opinions of the group on what developers I should try.

I was always a big fan of HC-110 - and it is one of the staples in my
darkroom, I also use a fair amount of D-76. - Any reasons that I
shouldn't consider those for the Acros - or are there compelling reasons
to try a new developer as well?

I use acros and HC110, exposed at 80 iso, HC110 1+47 20 C° for condenser
print developed time is 7'.

OK; how does HC-110 compare, grain-wise, with, say, D-76? (Assume Dilution B
for the HC-110).


I don't know, I do not used D-76.
