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
| 18°C | 19°C | 20°C | 21°C | 22°C | 23°C | 24°C |

| 12:30 | 11:12 | 10:00 | 9:00 | 8:00 | 7:12 | 6:30 |
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) |

| 1+4 | 60 ml developer + 240 ml water | 100 ml developer + 400 ml water |
How they work together
- Ilfotec DD-X
- Fine grain, high acutance, full film speed, normal contrast. Full emulsion speed with excellent shadow detail.
- Ilford SFX 200
- Extended red sensitivity up to 740nm. Creates infrared-style effects with 720nm filter. Not true IR film but produces similar aesthetic.
- Notes on this pairing
- Extended red sensitivity film. Best with deep red filter for IR effects.
