Many people talk about HC 110 dilution B as a 1 shot developer. If I use a Peterson tank & 120 film, how many cc's do I use with a syringe & how much water.

30 CC's of syrup to 31 oz's water will get you a quart of working 1 shot HC-110. That can probably be halved: 15 CC's of syrup to 15 1/2 oz's of water. I think that's enough to cover 120 film in the Paterson, but check it to make sure before you mix everything up and get the film on the reel. So to review: 30 CC's equals approximately 1 ounce - close enough in this case. Maybe hold back a little water from the mix at first so you can rinse the syrup residue out of the syringe and into whatever container you are using to mix up the working developer dilution - don't want to waste a bit of those precious chemicals. Hope that helps, Joe

I don't use HC-110 but I thought the one-shot dilutions were named 'G' or so. I did develop a sheet of TXP320 a few weeks ago using some HC-110 replenisher I was given. I used the Massive Development Chart (http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html) to guestimate a time at a highish dilution. Looking at my notes I used 20mls in 900mls of water, so 1:45. 5mins at 20c produced a decent looking neg (could have done with a bit more time I think)
From memory, when searching for info, I came across a really good page about HC-110 but unfortunately, I didn't bookmark it.

Nige.Any dilution that one mixes up and disposes after one roll or tank is basically a 1 shot developer. Higher dilutions are just more economical to use that way. I usually use what I think is called dilution H - 1:63 - which is basically twice the dilution of B (15cc's of syrup to 31 oz's of water). I combine this with less agitation (agitate for 10-15 secs every two minutes) and it does a great job of controlling highlights and gives a bit more 'apparent sharpness.' I just double the dilution B development time as a starting point and that has gotten me pretty darn good negatives. I must admit I haven't used HC110 in a while as I have been making my own Xtol-type developer from a recipe I got at another forum, but I did find that Tri-X in HC-110 was -to my eyes - an almost magical combination.

yep, agree. What I was meaning to highlight was mixing from the syrup direct from the bottle as opposed from a stock solution.
