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.
Other temperatures

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.
Mixing
| Dilution | 300 ml (one 35mm roll) | 500 ml (one 120 roll) |
