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.
FILM Ferrania P30: Revived cinema-origin emulsion inspired by Ferrania's historic formulations. Very high contrast with crushed shadows. High silver content (5g/sqm). Requires accurate metering - shoot at exactly ISO 80.
