Ilford Delta 100 + HC110

[dnemoc]

Hi!

I have to develop two rolls of 35mm Ilford Delta 100 in HC110. The film was underexposed by 1-1.5 stops intentionally, and I want to push the film by 1 stop at HC110 dilution H. Will anyone tell me the development time at 20C? A few samples will be best. I've looked at Massive Dev Chart, but dilution H is noncompensating... I'm a little uneasy about their suggested time of 9 min at 20C at dilution B, which makes it 18min at dilution H.

Best regards, and Happy April 1 🙂

I'll answer this myself... 18min under the above conditions is fine 🙂

If you get some scans, let us see them. I don't usually push film, but it would be nice to see them. I use HC-110 (H) and with the way film and paper are disappearing, it is nice to see what others have done.

I've been researching the use of HC110h for the purpose of pushing 400TX, so I'm sure that my suggestions would not necessarily correlate. However, I'd run into this pnet thread which suggests a semi-stand development for more aggressive pushes.

Here on RFF, there's also the mention of the "Merciful Semi-Stand" development process, or something similar, in reference to RFF member Merciful's successful push experiments...can't find the reference just now.

Don't know if that adds fuel to the fire, or not. Good luck, and looking forward to seeing the results.


Cheers,

I'm sorry I'm late in getting back... let me see if I can get some scans right. Problem is that I printed some shots but on high-contrast, the true extent of details in the shadows is masked... let me get back to you.
