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

Perceptol
Moderate acutance, normal contrast. Extremely fine grain, for when a loss of film speed is acceptable.
Rollei/Maco RPX 100
Medium-speed panchromatic film on triacetate; Rollei quotes very fine grain (RMS 7) and about +/-2 stops of latitude.
Notes on this pairing
