I would like to hear about your favorite black and white films and developers for Leica images.
Also, your experience with Rodinal and HC-110 development times with your favorite films. I am particularly interested in using HC-110 as a one shot developer without making the stock solution. Would anyone have exact ounce for ounce dilutions plus development times. I like the idea of using HC 110 directly from the syrup. This was Ansel Adams favorite developer and allegedly gives the finest grain with Tri-X according to some sources.

Plus-X in Rodinal 1:50 has always been a favorite of mine, following the published times.

TMX @ EI 60 for 6:30 mins
Tri-X @ EI 250 for 6:00 mins
Fomapan 400 @ EI 25 for 8 mins
Fomapan 100 in 4x5 @ EI 50 for 6 mins
All in HC110B at 68F and developed for diffusion enlargers, for condenser ones, times should be less.
Edit: obviously the Fomapan 100, I haven't used for Leica Images. Even the other three have only been used for Bessa images, though sometimes with a Leica lens.
