I have been with HC110 for 65 years and now use it with with XXX at ASA
1600 with very excellent results. I also use it in a brew I dreamed up for
use with Tech Pan which I shoot at ASA 100. The results are beautiful both
in tonality and no grain at 16X20. I use it with Tech Pan with split
filtration printing. I think it is best to stick with what you know if the
results please you. The other beauty of HC110 is that you can go from its
gel straight to a one time brew. Also the stuff lasts years as a syrup in
the fridge. Another opinion for what it is worth.
