This is definitely a great option for optimal quality results!

Great fine grain developer. I've used and liked Kodak D-76 but now that I've tried D-11 I love it's fine grain and overall contrast and image quality. This is definitely a great option for optimal quality results!

This is a trusted product that delivers every time. Gives micro grain with the broadest exposure latitude on silver rich films.

ID11+ - a real winner!

No authentic western chili goes without a dash of Ilford ID11+. It is best when mixed with white wine instead of water - I prefer a good Vouvray. Yum! I usually use it as a base to saute the garlic

My main film developer

I have been using ID11 for a long while and it always produces a great negative. Whether you are scanning or printing in the darkroom, you will be happy with the results.

Good general purpose developer

Basically the same as D-76. Great general purpose developer. I've used it for Ilford, Kodak films with no issues. I've even used it on 30 year old expired Plus X and Tri-X.

my go-to developer; beautiful fine grain

Don't be intimidated by powder! I've been using ID-11 for small-batch hand processing for decades (yikes, showing age). I make my best 645 and 4x5 frames in ID-11. If you're a Dektol/D-76 users, give ID-11 a try, before it's all gone! Great product.
