I found it at <a href=\"https:\/\/filmphotographyproject.com\/\">The Film Photography Project<\/a>. They sell an FPP-110 developer that appears to be a functional clone of the new now discontinued Kodak product, that is, not the old HC-110 concentrate but the new version that had a limited lifespan. Fine&#8230;I worked with the Kodak product once and it behaved like the old concentrate did. So I was hoping this product from the Film Photography Project did the same.<\/p>\n<p>I have tanks that hold 1, 2 and 4 reels of 35mm film. I loaded a single reel of Tri-X from my California trip as a test, and kept my fingers crossed that I wasn&#8217;t sacrificing a roll of good Leica shots just to prove the thing I got in the mail didn&#8217;t actually work like HC-110. But it was a complete success. So now I can finish off all the rolls I took in California.<\/p>\n<p>Except for the Agfa Copex Rapid, which I intend to develop using the old H&amp;W Control developer recipe. I ordered the raw chemicals for that from <a href=\"https:\/\/stores.photoformulary.com\/\">The Photographer&#8217;s Formulary<\/a>. B&amp;H didn&#8217;t stock most of what I needed and wouldn&#8217;t ship half of them anyway. Photographer&#8217;s Formulary ships but you had to specify UPS Ground shipping for two of the chemicals, since they&#8217;re declared to be hazardous. Most likely won&#8217;t get them here until sometime in mid January.<\/p>\n<p>Still need a scale good to .01 grams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Kodak has gone out of the film developer chemistry business now&#8230;at least to the degree they sell it to film photographers as opposed to commercial processors&#8230;I&#8217;ve had to scramble for a source of a good HC-110 substitute.
