Ilford ID -11 Film Developer is for use where fine grain negatives are required without a loss of emulsion speed.
ID -11 ensures the best balance of fine grain, sharpness and tonal rendition, and can be used with all formats of film, producing negatives which allow a high degree of enlargement.
ID -11 is supplied as a powder and shows exceptional consistency in performance throughout its working life. ID -11 is a Metol - Hydroquinone borax type of developer.
It is made up to a stock solution for normal tank or tray use, and can be further diluted 1+1 or 1+3 for users who prefer longer development times, a higher degree of sharpness, and are willing to use ID -11 on a "one- shot" basis.

I love this developer due to long developement times using it 1:1. In most cases it is longer than kodaks D-76. The developers are comparable.

Comments about Ilford ID-11 Film Developer:
I am rather new to the concept of developing film, but this really works well. I usually shoot cheap film and this is a great option for getting it done. It has even lasted a lot longer than I expected.

Comments about Ilford ID-11 Film Developer:
A great general purpose developer, I use it for a variety of B&W films. Consistent results. It is easily mixed in two parts. I went with powdered developer for ease of shipping to cut back on weight.

Comments about Ilford ID-11 Film Developer:
It is a general purpose developer for a variety of B&W films producing good results. It is very convenient because you can transport it without problems (due to recent shipping regulations you can not transport liquids). You can store the diluted stock solution for a long time (according to the spec. 6 months in airtight bottle). Hint: as you use the solution, put some marbles in the bottle to keep it airtight. Easy to dilute the stock solution. Add component B immediately after comp. A is diluted to avoid oxidation of active chemicals and filter it after dilution is ready.

Comments about Ilford ID-11 Film Developer:
This seems to be Ilford's "standard" developer. It has to be mixed up with water to make a stock solution, but it works fine. Does not have the ability to do as many different film types as DD-X, but has the major advantage that it lasts indefinitely until you mix it up. I keep a few packets around in case I run out of DD-X. Development times get really long if you don't use it as stock solution.
