Comparing Rodinal & Kodak HC110 - Which Produces Better Grain?

Want to learn how I can help you build a darkroom workflow and finally make prints that match your vision? Check this out: https://www.distphoto.com/unlocktheda... I have been a little obsessed with grain and gritty images lately. I love the texture and grit of darkroom prints when they fit the vision and subject. So this has had me a bit on the hunt for the best film & developer combination to create very gritty yet pleasing grain in my images when I intend to. In this test, I was trying to see the differences in grain that Rodinal and Kodak HC110 will produce. I went with a pretty grainy film that I generally love the look of in this regard. Fomapan 400. Kodak Hc110 has been a developer I use quite a bit and occasionally use Rodinal as well. I have never done a direct comparison so was interested to see the differences in film grain between the two! I have come across other Hc110 vs. Rodinal videos but none focused on the darkroom and specifically the film grain. There were also just to many variables in the film tests so wanted to cut that down to a minimum. Hope you enjoy the developer and film test! ============================= Relevant Links // ============================= Kodak HC110 - https://amzn.to/3T1t9gj Rodinal - adorama.rfvk.net/QyxaRP Fomapan 400 - https://amzn.to/47TJiZw ============================= Go to black and white film photography setup (Large Format) // ============================= Linhof Master Technika - https://ebay.us/fsyiPo Nikon Nikkor SW 90mm f/4.5 - https://ebay.us/sPWsqz Nikon nikkor w 150mm f5.6 - https://ebay.us/sPWsqz schneider 210mm f5.6 - https://ebay.us/22sOfk 4x5 Film Holders - https://ebay.us/7bHjXU Great belt case for 4x5 film holders - https://amzn.to/3ZWxXnG Kodak Tri-X black and white film (Favorite large format black and white film)- https://amzn.to/3T1jrZr ============================= Go to black and white film photography setup (medium Format) // ============================= Hasselblad 500 CM - http://ebay.us/I76k2J 120mm CF f-4 Makro - http://ebay.us/gX4UVm 80mm CF 2.8 - http://ebay.us/BRBAuT 50mm CFE f-4 - http://ebay.us/rcJhiz Go to black and white film - adorama.rfvk.net/9bgvQ Favorite Gear Back Pack - https://amzn.to/3c8iFET ============================= Go to film photography setup (35mm) // ============================= Brevite Jumper Back Pack - https://amzn.to/3Je22JU Canon F1 - https://ebay.us/jn1xcM Canon FD 35mm F2 - https://ebay.us/fgJNVE Canon FD 50mm 1.2L - https://ebay.us/8D8R6E Rangefinder - Canonet QL17 Giii - https://ebay.us/Tb17Np ============================= Affiliate Links: ============================= Some of the links in my video descriptions are affiliate links, which means at no extra cost to you, I will make a small commission if you click them and make a qualifying purchase.
