I have been using HC110 at high dilutions lately and I have been very happy with the results.
Yesterday I just finished shooting a short roll of FP4+ as a lens test of an I-61 that I just cleaned and lubed. I shot the roll at EI 64, I souped it in HC110 dilution G (1:119) for 18 min. 30 seconds slow inversions to start and 5 slow inversions every 3 minutes there after.

The negitives were a little denser than I like for scanning but all in all they look good to me.

Kevin: Nice ... E.I. 80 or even 100 might be really nice with this regimen of HC-110.

Fantastic! I have some HC-110 and I've been reading about dilution G and long development. I've been shooting some HP5 just to see what it looks like in this developer.

HP5 at 200 should be great. I did some Tri-X at 200 using dilution G last week.
The first is a close crop from the image at 100%. I was using a Jupiter 8 so it is a little softer than what you would get from a sharper lens. There is some grain but for Tri-X not bad at all IMHO.
