Subject: [pure-silver] HC-110 vs D-76
Hi,
I just got back from the photo store and they were out of D-76 on the shelf. While somebody was getting more from the storeroom, I asked if I could replace D-76 with HC-110. On more than one occasion, I have heard say, that the only difference between the two was that one was liquid and thus easier to mix as opposed to D-76 where you have to heat the water to 120°F and so forth. Tonight, I was told that they are similar but that HC-110 gives a higher contrast but that If I played around with the dilution, it could probably give comparable results to D-76. This is contrary to everything that I have heard up till now.
So what is the difference between the two? By the way, I use D-76 to develop Tri-X (200 asa) for 10.5 minutes, 68°F.
Cheers, Bogdan
