EI is the speed the film was rated at when shooting. Times marked “not yet verified” come from secondary sources and haven’t been checked against a manufacturer datasheet.

Calculated from the 20°C time using Ilford’s temperature compensation factors, not taken from a datasheet. Most B&W developers behave well between 18°C and 24°C.

How they work together

Ilfosol 3: High acutance, full film speed, medium-high contrast. Good general purpose results.
CatLABS CatLABS X Film 320 (120/Sheet): Different emulsion from the 35mm version (which is Kodak Double-X). Origin unclear - likely aerographic stock with finer grain.
Notes on this pairing: Lower contrast.
