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

HC-110
Fine grain, high acutance, full film speed, normal contrast. Full-scale with good shadow detail.
Kodak T-Max 100
Kodak describes it as a medium-speed (ISO 100/21) panchromatic film with extremely high sharpness, extremely fine grain and very high resolving power, good for detailed subjects and copying (F-4016, June 2018). Kodak calls it the world's finest-grain 100-speed black-and-white film.
