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 P3200
Multi-speed continuous-tone film designed for push processing to EI 3200-6400. Well-suited for low-light and action photography.
Notes on this pairing
  • Small tank, agitation every 30 s (F-4001, Apr 2019). Kodak dilution B. Kodak gives no HC-110 time above EI 6400.
