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

Calculated from the 21°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.

How they work together
- PMK Pyro
- Fine grain, very-high acutance, full film speed, compensating contrast. Extraordinary highlight separation with proportional staining.
- Kodak T-Max 400
- Known for exceptionally fine grain among 400-speed B&W films. Tabular grain technology offers high sharpness and resolving power.
- Notes on this pairing
- Very sensitive to time and temperature. 70°F (21.1°C). Two inversions every 15 s.
