I'm an HP5+ shooter, but I find HC-110 works very well with
this and other 400 speed films, including Tri-X and Neopan 400.

The economy and keeping properties are very gook like Rodinal, and
the dilutions/agitation alchemy resembles Rodinal modus operandi
as well.

I've been using dilution H (1:63) @  68F with just 1 inversion every
2 minute with good results at EI 320 and 800.

For pushing to 1600 and 3200, Photo.net has lots of good info on
pushing Tri-X using HC-110 using higher dilutions and semi-stand
development.  The B&W Film & Processing forum folks on PN
are extremely nice and knowledgable.

For FP4+, I've used HC-110 (B) and Rodinal 1:50 with good results,
but for some odd reason couldn't get a good result out of (H). Lately,
I've been (lazily) experimenting with FP4+ and Delta 100 in Acutol.
So far FP4+ in Acutol seems easily as sharp as Rodinal with slightly
less prominent grain. The main documented benefit of Acutol vs.
Rodinal is better film speed, but I haven't personally done any side-
by-side comparisons.
