3200 delta@12.5k

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread

Has anyone found a good developer for pushing 3200 delta to the "edge"(12.5k)? If not, do you have a favorite push developer that you think may work at these insane speeds? thanks!

Ilford recommend you make test exposures first when using the film at 12500 and above. (See wwww.ilford.com) Also, For such high meter settings, they only give times for a few developers.

The recommended developpers are:

ILFORD DD-X (1+4) 17 --- 12 MICROPHEN (stock) 16 1/2 --- 13 1/2

Time are also given for:

ID-11 (stock) 17 --- 13 1/2 Kodak D-76 (stock) as for ID-11 Kodak T-Max (1+4) 14 --- 13 Kodak Xtol (stock) 12 1/2 --- 11

BTW: They also give some data for EI 25000/45:

ILFORD DD-X (1+4) 25 --- 17 MICROPHEN (stock) 22 --- 17 1/2

Key: Developer (dilution) time, in minutes, at 200C/680F --- time, in minutes, at 240C/750F

Sorry for the way the table came out. I must say I am somewhat surprised that the line feeds were omitted!
