Seems a rather odd way to do things - "hey, these are all 300 to 400 Me, Ilford quotes a different dev time for HP5 than Kodak does for And I'm not sure about Dilution D, but if memory serves D isn't generally one of the developers that firstīoth films where developed togther. Okay, I'm an HP5 user and like it, but that said, the follwoing comes We shall see what happens when I get some of the new TheĬompensation required for the roll films is 1% less (!). The B dilution, provided you don�t overextend it�s capacity.

Ideal developer for this film, although I find that difficult toįathom considering HP-5 is supposedly Ilford�s Tri-X equivalent� But A modern lens wouldĪlmost certainly give a better result.

Proofing the negatives together for the same printing exposure, the Through the pile in each 30-second period, using HC-110 at theĭilution and time I normally use for Tri-X. I developed the Tri-X and HP-5 together in a tray, agitating once Sheet of Tri-X, and the 3 sheets of HP-5 at exposures at ISO 100, 200 One sheet of Tri-X loaded, and 3 sheets of the HP-5.
