Response to Ascorbic acid/Metol developer query

Dear Ryuji, Thanks for the detailed reply. I am surprised at your comments regarding TX and HC-110. Using "B" dilution and Picker's (Zone VI) method for determining film speed/developing time, I get incredibly fine grain. ( My ASA is around 250 and developing time a tad under 5 minutes.) I originally tried that combo ages ago based on a talk Ansel Adams gave during which he touted that combination highly for 35 mm. (I'm using it in medium format, mostly.) Thanks again for all the information! Howard
