Ilford ID11 Film Developer - 1L

Finally got consistent, beautiful negatives from my HP5 after switching to this developer—the fine grain is exactly what I needed for scanning. The powder dissolved easily and the 1L size will last me a good while.

Mixed a batch for some Tri-X I'd pushed to 800 and the fine grain was exactly what I wanted — still sharp without that overly smooth look. The 1L powder made enough working solution for half a dozen rolls, which feels like solid value.

After shooting a roll of HP5 at box speed, the negatives came out with a beautiful, creamy grain structure and shadows that still held plenty of detail. Diluted 1+1 it's economical too, and the powder dissolves without any fuss. This is the developer I keep coming back to for consistent results.
