ILFORD MICROPHEN is a fine grain film developer which gives an effective increase in film speed. A speed increase of up to half a stop can be achieved with most films but faster films such as HP5 Plus, DELTA 400 and DELTA 3200 it is more. Many developers that give an increase in film speed usually produce a corresponding increase in grain size; MICROPHEN is formulated to overcome this disadvantage.

Carter ★★★★★

The half-stop speed boost is real—my shots at 800 with Tri-X came out with solid shadow detail and barely any extra grain. Mixed up a liter and it stored fine for a couple weeks, which made the whole batch worth it. This has become my go-to when I need to push film without losing that fine-grain loo

Sophia ★★★★★

I’ve been using this with HP5 Plus and the fine grain is really noticeable even when pushing the film a bit. The one-litre bottle mixed up exactly as expected and has lasted through several rolls without any issues.

Ellie M. ★★★★★

That extra half stop makes all the difference for my low-light shots—I can actually shoot HP5 at 800 without worrying. Took a roll through it over the weekend and the fine grain kept everything looking super sharp. Definitely my new go-to developer.
