brad d Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 What are the development times for ilford fp4 125 using kodak D76 mixed 1:1 between 68 and 72 degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_mcdonald Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 11 minutes at 68 degrees, about 9 minutes at 72 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0002a Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 D-76 is the same as ID-11, times for which are listed on Ilford's website under the film or the developer. These are "starting" points and may need adjustment for your specific processing technique, especially if using a condenser enlarger (typically about 15% less time).

lwg Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I like FP4+ shot at ISO 50 and developed in D76 1+1 for 9 minutes at 68F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad_hoffman Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 FP4+ is good stuff, but you won't know how good until you back off the EI. Shoot at something between 50 and 80, depending on your equipment and metering techniques, then adjust the development so it prints well on #3 paper. Don't overagitate. You really have to establish the time yourself, but it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippe_bedfert Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I used to develop 4x5 sheet films in a combiplan tank with ID 11 1+4 20 min. at 68°. 4 inversions then 2 inversions by minute. The negative are very nice with a good accutance and very easy to print. It is mostly landscapes shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulent_ozgoren Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 FP4+ is a great film. 4x5" EI:64 developed in PMK for 7' 30" at 24 C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt_teerlynck Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I just tried fp4 plus @100 in 100ml xtol, 5ml Rodinal, 400ml water. 11 minutes, 20°C. looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy - ny, ny Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I know you're asking about FP4 & D76 but I just wanted to chime in... For b&w, I shoot exclusively FP4 (& Pan F) and have been developing it Rodinal, 1:25, 68ºF, 9min (timed so I've completely drained out and am pouring in stop at :09:01). I fell in love with it in school. D76 is a great developer but we all have different sensibilities and it was lacking "something" for me. I'm still satisfied with the combination of FP4/Rodinal. What aesthetically pleases me may not please you but, if you've never tried Rodinal I'd suggest you buy a small bottle and try it for a few rolls. If you have and prefer D76, then never mind. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_poulsen1 Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 ID-11 is quite similar to D76, but the development times will be different to achieve the same results for the same film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
