EI is the speed the film was rated at when shooting. Evidence says where each time comes from: the manufacturer’s own data, a named test, a compilation or several agreeing reports (community consensus), or one person’s report. Times marked “not yet verified” come from secondary sources and haven’t been checked against a manufacturer datasheet. Where sources give different times, every one is listed and marked “sources differ”.

Calculated from the 20°C (68°F) time using Ilford’s temperature compensation factors, not taken from a datasheet. Most B&W developers behave well between 18–24°C (64–75°F).

How they work together
- T-Max Developer
- High acutance, full film speed, normal contrast. Enhanced shadow detail in normally processed and push-processed film.
- Kodak Tri-X 320 (320TXP)
- Sheet-film sibling of Tri-X 400 on a thick ESTAR base, designed for controlled studio and low-flare lighting; roll-film versions ended in 2010 and only sheet sizes remain.
- Notes on this pairing
- Small tank, agitation every 30 s; J-86 roll-film data for 320TXP. Kodak says not to use T-MAX Developer for sheet film.
