Description

Ilford Ilfotec LC29 Film Developer 500ml

Ilford Ilfotec LC29 Film Developer is a liquid concentrate black and white film developer. Similar to Ilford Ilfotec HC, it isn’t as highly concentrated and is made for small volume film processing.

Ilfotec LC29 is easy to use and economical, making it ideal for beginners. Perfect for use with a wide range of black and white films. It will produce fine grain negatives with good sharpness and image quality.

You have a choice of dilutions, 1+9, 1+19 and 1+29. A working strength solution at 1+29 should be used as a one-shot developer. You use it once and discarded it. For the highest image quality, dilutions 1+9 and 1+19 should also be used as one–shot. However, for greater economy, they can be reused but image quality may be reduced. Pushing film is not recommended when using reused developers.

How To Use

As it is a concentrate, you dilute it to make a working solution. To prepare Ilford Ilfotec LC29, dilute 1+9. That means one part developer to nine parts water. Or, use a common dilution which is 1+19. So that is one part developer to nineteen parts water. Additionally, you can dilute 1+29. That is one part concentrate developer to twenty-nine parts water. The different dilution will give varying results. Always make sure you mix together thoroughly before use.
