What developers have people used to successfully push HP5+ up to two stops? Thanks.

I pushed HP5 three stops using Ilford's microphen with reasonable results. I have an Ilford tech sheet that says this: ID-11 stock - iso 800 12 min iso 1600 18 min Microphen stock iso 800 9 min iso 1600 11 min iso 3200 16 min

I push hp5+ to 1600 and 3200 quite a bit mostly for night sports. They print well. I use Ilford DDX and a JOBO processor. I don't have access to the times that I was using, but I could get them to you.

I sell the prints and ecveryone is happy with them, so I must assume that to the buyer the grain is acceptable.

If you are interested, email me and I will try to gather up the information.
