I have read a number of threads on this, but I still have not found my answer. I have been working with Ilford MGWT for a while now, developing it in Dektol 1:3. So far it is a decent combination, but I want to give some experimenting a try. I ordered a the 5 sheet 8x10 sample pack of Adox MCC 110 from freestyle.
I know I need to test for myself, but to get started, my questions are this (note, I am printing on FB glossy paper):
1. If anyone has experience with both papers, MCC 110 and MGWT, how do their respective exposure times under the enlarger vary? If I expose MGWT for 30 s, would 30 s for MCC 110 be comparable? Again, I ask only for a starting point. I still plan on testing, but since I only have 5 sheets to work with, I'd like to nail the exposure with minimal errors.
2. Dektol has been my go to developer only because that what I learned on. I ordered FP 130 to try along with the new paper, but does any other favorites they would suggest? Again, I know I need to test for my own preferences, but I want to get a feel for want others experience.
