Subject: [Leica] Help! New TriX in HC110B

Photographer's Formulary sells it (that's where I get mine), but it was
apparently developed in the UK. Here is a UK site:

http://www.monochromephotography.com/developer.htm

Very economical and easy to use. You only agitate the tank about 4 different
times, at it is used at 75F (which helps us down here in the subtropics). I
had some Prescysol in my cupboard for about 2 years and then decided to use
it. Worked beautifully, so it apparently has a pretty good shelf life. I
blogged about it a few weeks ago. Here are a few test images with Acros and
Bergger 200.

Have any of you used Prescysol? I'm finding that it develops everything
quite nicely at 10.5 minutes. I have quite a variety of B&W films to  
test it
with. I got a lot of donations of film post-Katrina from sympathetic  
LUGers.
It's giving me the opportunity to use some films I've never used before.

Dan and the rest - many thanks for the advice.  I chose 5.5 minutes and
actually mixed in the roll of Arcos and both came out decently.

Ernest,

5 1/2 minutes to 6 minutes are just fine. Don't go more than that as
starters.

Everyone is pretty sure that Kodak mixed up the times for Dilution A and
Dilution B, though they swear that is not the case.

I usually go with 6 minutes. Definitely not longer.
