    What Dilution HC-110 Do You Recommend for 4x5 HP5 Portraits? What's The Capacity?

    Hello,

    The documentation for Kodak HC-110 developer doesn't recommend a development time for 4x5 HP5+ for the various possible dilutions. It also doesn't give the capacity of any dilutions for 4x5 film (i.e., it doesn't state how many 4x5 sheets you can develop with a given amount of chemistry and expect good results). My guess is I could do at least 4x the number of sheets printed in the capacity chart because it mentions "equivalent."

    The most important shots I'm going to develop are a few portraits in high contrast scenes. Do any of you have strong recommendations?

    I will use a Patterson 3 tank without replenishment to develop the shots. I can hold up to 6 sheets at a time in the Patterson 3 tank. I print with a condenser enlarger.
