Hey y'all,

Just trying to think ahead before school starts, I'm looking for suggestions for good general black & white film developers that will give me a decent mix of everything (acutance, grain, etc) and films (slow, normal, and high speed). Since school will be keeping me good and busy, I'm also thinking ease of use here, namely a liquid developer as opposed to powder.

I'm thinking of testing HC-110 with a few films, HP5 being one of them, then a fast grainy film, and a slow fine-grained film. One combo I've been using is Rodinal with Fuji Acros. Anybody ever try Acros with HC-110? If you guys got any other suggestions for developers and film combos, I'd love to hear 'em!

Thanks,

Sam
