Byron did you mean to post this to the whole list!!!!?!:) Yes i believe HC-110 was a setback for me and the photographers i knew at the time when we were starting out. It was like the emperors new clothes. Ansel was using it someone found out supposedly. When we all trickled back to D76 after a year of tribulations we got much better results like we used to get. But Xtol is 4 times better than any D76 dilution if you ask me!!! mark rabiner
