The Classic HC-110 "Original Syrup"

Adox has recreated the distinctive thick, honey-yellow style of the classic HC-110 concentrate. This "Original Syrup" formulation is considerably more viscous than modern thinner alternatives and is specifically produced for photographers who want the handling characteristics, flexibility, and longevity associated with the traditional formula.

Exceptional Shelf Life

One of the major advantages of the thick HC-110 syrup formulation is its remarkable keeping properties. Adox describes the concentrate as having an almost unlimited shelf life, making it particularly attractive to photographers who develop film intermittently and do not want partially used bottles of developer deteriorating quickly between processing sessions.

Flexible Contrast Control

HC-110 Pro can be used at a variety of working dilutions, giving experienced photographers considerable control over development and negative contrast. This flexibility makes it suitable for adapting development to different films, exposure conditions, printing techniques, and individual preferences.

Beautiful Black & White Tonality

Alongside its practicality, HC-110 has long been valued for the tonal qualities it can produce in black and white negatives. Adox HC-110 Pro brings these characteristics together with a straightforward processing workflow and the flexibility to refine results through your choice of dilution.

Made in Germany

Producing the original-style HC-110 syrup is more complex than manufacturing thinner liquid developers. Its unusually thick consistency requires additional time and specialist handling during pumping, filtering, and bottling. Adox manufactures HC-110 Pro in Germany to provide the traditional concentrated formulation rather than simplifying it into a thinner alternative.

TFC's Verdict

Adox HC-110 Pro is particularly exciting for photographers who remember the original thick HC-110 or simply want a highly concentrated developer with superb keeping properties. The almost indefinite shelf life makes it especially useful if you develop film irregularly, while the choice of dilutions provides plenty of scope for refining contrast and negative characteristics. A very versatile traditional developer that should appeal to newcomers and experienced darkroom photographers alike.
