I worked from concentrate in solution B, and it gave me the best performance. I always made sure all chemicals were the same temp and it always worked great. The two photography courses I took in college used two totally different techniques. One class used d-76 (photojournalism) and the fine art photography used HC-110. At th time I hated the HC-110, because D-76 was easier. However, the moment I saw my first real HC-110 negative that wasn't of a grey card, I was hooked. I find that I can use neopan 400 and tr-x 400 interchangebly in HC-110 and I couldn't in D-76.
