It's darn convenient to pour out an ounce of the straight concentrate into an
liter as i recall it.
Higher dilutions as Ansel mentioned never gave me even looking negs so it was
tough to sharpen up.
A bunch of us starting out photogs all using HC-110 in the late 70's all went
back to D76 at the same time and never looked back at that creepy syrup!!
MUSH and say MUSH to you sir!!!!!!!! (creepy Phenidone)
Try D76 not 1:1 but 1:2. It's extra delicious!!! (sharper and better edge
effects but a tad more grain)
