george_carpenter1 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 <p>I was rummaging around in my shop and came across a couple of old envelopes of Ilford's ID-11 Plus. I remember that I used this in the 80s and was quite pleased with it. However, it seems it is no more and there just isn't anything on the web, either.<br> What is its formula and is there a chemical that can be added to the present ID-11 to get an approximation of ID-11 Plus?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 <p>George, I can't recall what the "plus" meant. Ilford seems to be fast and loose with "plus"es and "X"es. ID-11 is pretty much D-76, but I don't know what Plus is.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_carpenter1 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 <p>Charles,<br> Thanks so much for that link; it has solved most of the problem. I had run across the mentioned ingredient, Cinnamic acid disulfide, in an MSDS sheet. It was listed, in typical devious fashion, as 1-5%. I had balked at accepting the source and the numbers because I was not certain that was what I was really after. Now, because of your link, I can accept it, and make my own. That is assuming, of course, that I can find the chemical.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
