Orwo Un54+ Hc110(b)

[Steinberg2010]

Hi,
I'm looking to develop some ORWO UN54 (100 ISO) in HC110. There seems to be a dearth of times available for this combo. I'd like to use dilution B as I'm most familiar with that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Look in this thread: https://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112206&highlight=Orwo

The photos by RFFer Dourbalistar are lovely, and done with N74 and HC110 (or equivalent) dilution B.

Edit: crap, sorry, I read 74 not 54...

I shot a couple of rolls of uN54 then developed it in Rodinal 1:50. Lovely film. You might try a read across on other 100 or close films in Rodinal for an HC110 equivalent.

My favorite for UN54 is Perceptol 1:1. So much like Plus-X in this combo.

I’ve not used HC-110 on it.

Bob,

Times and temps? As recommended starting points. I like the film, just not sure I am getting the most out of it yet.

I do Perceptol 1:1 at 68 for 15 minutes, and expose the film at ISO 100. I wet print only, and like my negs a bit stouter than most folks. 13:30 - 14:00 is probably the "correct" time.

Agitation is 15 seconds when the developer goes in and then 2 inversions per minute.

Thanks, Bob, will give that a shot.

As to the original question, I have never tried HC-110 for UN54, but I was using XTOL 1:1 7minutes 30seconds at 20 degrees C with what I thought were really nice results. 30 seconds inversions to start then 2 gentle inversions every 30 seconds.
Smooth grain, creamy tones (unscientific descriptor), fairly contrasty, B & W cinema look, not surprisingly. This combo of film and developer works really well with a Summaron 35/2.8, I thought. Smooth.
My Lightroom tags are in disarray, or I would post an example.

The only other developer I had any experience with in combination with this film was Fuji Microfine and did not like the results at all. Am looking forward to trying the Perceptol.

These are UN54 in HC110 DilE @8 minutes:

and this are Dil E at 5.5 minutes
