Anybody have any experience with Ilfotec HC I just ordered some through B&H because I'm about to run out of ADOX Rodinal. I did a search here and didn't really find anything on this developer. Almost $46, and not too many reviews on the B&H website. It just arrived today, I just might finish the last drops that I have of rodinal before I open up this one.

When I got back into developing my own film that's the developer I started with.
You mix the developer 1 + 3 with water, so from a 1 litre bottle you get four litres of stock. That's diluted further to make the usable developer.
What i used to do was just make up a small bottle of stock for use, and only make up more stock once the small bottle had run low.
It took me a few years to get through it and the concentrate just didn't go off at all.
The fact sheet is pretty neat. http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/2011427105392231.pdf (http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/2011427105392231.pdf)

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it.
One more question if I mix it 1+31 after I get a working solution is that going to be a one-shot. That's what I'm after I just want to use it once so I can have consistency. I'm so used to my Rodinal.

Yeah, that's a one shot, that's how I always used it.

Thanks will give it a try this weekend.

Its a very good developer, similar to HC110 I used to love it at higher dilutions-a good developer.
-
Can it be used without diluting it and making a working solution ? Meaning can I just use it straight out of the bottle with a syringe and mixing it with water and then using it as a one-shot?

It probably can as it's what I always do with HC-110. The only thing is I don't know the correct ratios.
