habib_b Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I have been told before that the correct developing time for Illford HP5 film is 5 minutes in D76 (1+0) I just wanted to make sure if that is the correct time for developing the film. Could some one please tell me if i have the developing time right? Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenlee Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hmm i have no experience with that combination, however from digitaltruth.com HP5 in stock D76 is 7.5 mins @ISO400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred aspen Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 If DT recommends 7.5 minutes that is for a diffusion enlarger. For a condenser enlarger the correct time would be around 6 minutes but there are so many variables to be considered that these can only be recommended as starting points. Everyone's technique/equipment varies so you must develop you own personal times through trial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_madio Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 You can download the HP5+ info sheet from the Ilford web site. Use the development times specified for ID-11 (Ilford's equivalent to D-76). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughes Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Habib 6.0 mins @ 68c @ 400ASA will be fine 7.5 will give real punchy negs which you might like, but 6 mins is where I would be cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
