I just pulled my first test negatives out uaing HC110. Reporting low contrast. The low values are not as dense as I had hoped. I believe they are least 2 stops thinner than with my D76 or Pyro process. I haven't had a chance to print these and I suspect they would print but not as easily as preferred.
The overall density is lower than ideal. Flat and I suspect would print gray and mushy.
I went off the massive dev charts times.

HC110 dilution H 1:63
21c
8 minutes
I am thinking about increasing the development time to 10 minutes but also would like to see if anyone else has encountered this and tried a higher concentration while keeping the development time down.
I agitated 1 minute then 10 seconds every consecutive minute. Does HC110 perform better with constant agitation?
I shot a few more test sheets today and want to process tonight. Let me hear what works for you guys.
