I was not aware of this. Also, I did not know that HC110 can be mixed directly and that the syrup has a very long shelf life. Flanagan (a local "expert") also believes that this is the case. If this is so, I will experiment with HC110 in the near future. Meanwhile, I plan to take my Tmax3200 to the local "pro" laboratory. I know that they use Tmax developer, because they developed my TriX in it before. The reason for this is that the roll has images of my daughter using X-mas light illumination. (If I see coma, I shall so report. Incidentally, I used my trusty Type-2 50mm Summicron.) I plan to experiment with Tmax emulsions, because they promise better grain characteristics than TriX. By the way, since water quality appears to be a factor, why don't the manufacturers recommend using distilled water, which can be bought in supermarkets? Again, I wanted to thank Greg and Chuck for sharing their knowledge with us. Regards, Chris
