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

XTOL: Fine grain, high acutance, full film speed, normal contrast. Excellent shadow detail with wide latitude.
Adox CHS 100 II: Orthopanchromatic with reduced red sensitivity for better portrait skin tones. 1960s aesthetic with two-emulsion single-layer coating. Can be reversal processed. Avoid tanning developers.
