Ilfosol 3 and FP4+ 125 at 20º

[Rhodes]

Can I use ilfosol 3 to develop FP4+ ISO 125 at 20º? Digitalthrut only has the time for 24ºC, as the bottle. This means I can not use to develop that type of film (ISO 125) at 20ºC? Or it is not wise to do so?

Add about 30% for a 4 deg C reduction in temp as a starting point.

You can of course use this developer with fp4+ at 20 degs C. You will find more times and information on the ilford website I would suspect

I had the same problem when Ilfosol S was replaced by Ilfosol 3. After much experimenting I have found this works fine for me -

FP4 ISO 125 - Ilfosol 3 1+14 at 20C for 6.00 min.

I found using 1+9 dilution gave me too short developing times.

Yes, I bought the ilfosol 3 thinking that I was buying the S! 😱

Try my method. I think you will find it does the job ....

Where did you heard Ilfosol S was replaced by Ilfosol 3 ? Ilford site still shows both products and the announcement says it extends the existing range.

I hope I'm wrong but I think you will find that Ilfosol S has not been available for about a year. I used Ilfosol S for almost all my developing but was forced to change to the new Ilfosol 3.

First of all, want to say thank you to monochromeimages for the method!
Developed a fp4+ film with Ilfosol-3! Did a little tweak in photoshop, and here are a few samples of the film. It comes from a bulk of 30m that end in 96 and it was given to me.




Like the shadows here in this one (of course the spot and the dust had to be in this one...)



Used my zorky-4 K and jupiter 8! I think mainly it was 1/125 f:8 or f:5.6, but I did some bracketing with a few of them, but can not say which (memory fails...)!
