They still do. The recommended method of preserving HC110 is to work from the most concentrated syrup, split original bottle, (16oz for example), into smaller bottles, old fashioned 2 to 4 oz. brown glass medicine bottles, are what I used to use, (wish I could find mine, I have a 16oz bottle

Seconding what others have said... the undiluted concentrate will last for a long time. I had some HC110 that was pushing 7 years when I finally used it up. I would migrate it to smaller bottles as it would fit, but it spent a good bit of time with some air in the bottles. The concentrate got

Kodak recommends against 1:3 these days. I would have liked them to come to this conclusion before... I think you're agitating too hard. That was my preliminary conclusion after reading about the kind of results I had had. So I calmed down. But I was not sure if my new good results were becaus

XTOL isn't really the best push developer... Microphen or DD-X work better. If I remember well I was using XTOL with a 1:2 or 1:3 dilution. I guess I was looking for trouble... Microphen is the next one I was to try. A friend of mine prepares Microphen concentrates at home. I'll try it for t

You really should try XTOL. XTOL is the recommended developer for TMAX film, not TMAX developer. tv What is the best way to agitate the film with XTOL? I've had mitigated results with 3200 films (Kodak and Ilford) and I suspect this combination might need more or less agitation than what I gave

'll keep looking. Anybody used the Edwal FG7 stuff? It appears to be a bit of a push developer, which makes me nervous, but it also looks like it is designed to more or less the specs I had in mind (cheap, keeps, works OK) DJE Don't blame the HC110 when the real culprit is TMY/TMX. I really dislike those films. Collin
