Fuji Acros 4x5 in HC-110 [Archive] - Large Format Photography Forum

Hi,
Does anyone use this combination?
I'm using a Jobo 2553 on a motorized base.
From what I can gather in researching this, Fuji gives 5.5 min at 18˚C using dilution B.
Based on my experience with TMax 400, this should give a time of 8-9 minutes with dilution H, my usual dilution (1:63).
I've also read that the film is quite tolerant of varied processing temperatures, so I'll try it at 21˚C, also my usual temperature.
Maybe expose at ISO 80.

What do you think?
Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ari,

I use Xtol or Pyrocat to develop Acros. Try EI 50 as well as 80.

Thanks for the suggestion, Peter.

I do Acros in 120 for 10:20 at 20C in HC-110 dil H with fine results. That's in a tank with intermittent agitation; when I modify things for rotary processing, I generally start at 85% of the regular time, which gives you about 8:45 with constant agitation as a starting point.

After testing, I am getting full box speed with Xtol 1+1; I process on a Jobo ATL-1500 at 75C

Thanks, Renato, but I'm specifically looking for processing time and temperature with HC-110.

That's what I needed to hear.

Good luck with it, Ari. FWIW, this image (not LF) was on 120 Acros, 10:20 at 20C in HC-110 dil H. Rated at 100, shot at meter reading.
