Yes I work under a standard safelight but cover my development tray
with another tray to prevent fog. I dont have access to a densitometer
but did just order a No.2 Step wedge. Im using this purely for making
enlarged negs, not for in camera. Enlarging from 4x5 tmx100 to 16x20.

Zev,
As a fellow Dektol user I can sympathize, try HC110 dil H, around 8
mins or so to start, are you using a densitometer to establish an
EI? you do know that light film is insensitive to red and can be
developed using a red flashlight, right?

Good afternoon all!
Ive been using dektol 1:10 for my Arista APHS film for years now
(if its not broke dont fix it right?) but have finally been
convinced to try a developer with a slower development to help with
extending my tones (I wish to move to palladium soon). I had
several recommendations for HC110 and as it comes in liquid form, I
thought it would be easy enough for a quick go. Ive been working
with it all week and have yet to be satisfied with my results, I
cant calm the contrast.... The recipe I was highly recommended to
use was (from concentrate) 1:40 @ 68F for 7 Minutes. Ive also been
told to use "Dilution B" but that just seemed even more contrasty.
Does anyone have any hints for this stuff? A better developer
perhaps? Ive been following the talk of LC-1 but I'm not allowed to
use such chemistry in my institution.
Thanks!
