Advertisement Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 Hi wen, Take a look here what developer should I use for Ilford HP5. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
nikau Posted April 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted April 14, 2008 You'll probably get all sorts of useful suggestions, but to start I have often used D76 with HP5 and had good results. It may not be the best combo, but it was what was available to me! As for stop bath and fixer, just use whatever you have/can get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom.leininger Posted April 14, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 14, 2008 D76 1+1 68 degrees for 8.5 minutes works well for me. Water serves as my stop bath and I do not know what kind of fix we have here at school. I could go closer to 9 minutes and still be ok. Whenever I push the film to 1600 I just use straight D76 for something like 12 minutes. The massive development chart works well for a starting point.

cbretteville Posted April 14, 2008 Share #5 Posted April 14, 2008 I prefer Xtol 1:1 to D76/ID11 for HP5+ as far as trad. developers are concerned. I'll look up the details when I'm home from work. I find 510-Pyro is even better, a different animal and requires you to mix the syrup, but the results are wonderful. Here is an example. Welcome, dear visitor!

Chuck Albertson Posted April 14, 2008 Share #7 Posted April 14, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) D-76 works fine with HP5. I use Xtol for it, but I use Xtol for nearly everything. If you're used to working with D-76, stick with it until you have a reasons to try something different. Same for whatever stop bath and fixer you use now.

Mark Antony Posted April 23, 2008 Share #12 Posted April 23, 2008 Ilford ID11 and D76 are pretty much identical. The differences in recommended times are down to the manufacturers. Remember that the published times are just suggestions arrived at by techs in the respective companies depending on the output, G0.65 is considered normal contrast for enlarging. The times you settle on depend on the final use. if you are scanning then lower contrast is slightly better, if you have a cold cathode head on an enlarger you may well want slightly higher. To complicate things the same film shot in different cameras developed in the same tank will show small variations as will an inconsistent agitation from film to film. You can use D76 times for ID without too much error, but remember the quoted times are just suggestions. Regards Mark P.S Carl I love the way that Pyro holds the highlights while it maintains shadow, have you tried Pyrocatechin (catechol) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
