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.

How they work together

ID-11: Fine grain, moderate acutance, full film speed, normal contrast. Excellent balance of fine grain, sharpness, and tonal rendition.
Ilford Pan F Plus 50: Extremely fine grain with outstanding resolution, sharpness and edge contrast. Natural choice where fine detail and lack of grain are paramount.
Notes on this pairing: CORRECTED from 360s per Ilford datasheet (6½ min).
CORRECTED from 480s per Ilford datasheet (8½ min).
Maximum sharpness dilution. Use immediately after mixing.
