Ilford Microphen 1L Developer Powder for Black and White Film

Discover the exceptional capabilities of ILFORD Microphen 1L Developer Powder, specifically designed for black and white film enthusiasts seeking to maximize film speed without compromising on grain quality. This fine grain developer is ideal for photographers who push-process their films, as it is optimized for high-speed performance at the faster end of the exposure range. Unlike many developers that increase film speed at the cost of larger grain size, ILFORD Microphen is uniquely formulated to maintain a fine grain structure, thanks to its low alkalinity which reduces grain size and prevents clumping.

With ILFORD Microphen, photographers can achieve a superior speed-to-grain ratio, ensuring that even at higher speeds, the grain remains comparable to that produced by standard developers. This makes it an excellent choice for those using films like ILFORD HP5 Plus, where meter settings up to EI 3200/36 can be effectively utilized. Supplied as a convenient powder, this developer offers remarkable consistency and reliability throughout its working life.

ILFORD Microphen is versatile in its application, allowing for the preparation of a stock solution suitable for both tank and tray development. For those who prefer using a fresh solution each time, it can be easily diluted at ratios of 1+1 or 1+3. Experience the perfect balance of speed and grain with ILFORD Microphen, and elevate your black and white film photography to new heights.
