Discrepancies with D76 and ID11 dev times

Post by pentaxpete »

I have mixed my own ID11 formula for a long time and have found the times quoted for ID11 in ILFORD literature are TOO LONG for most films -- so I looked and found their times for 'D76' which is supposed to be the SAME formula were SHORTER - I have started to use the 'D76 times for ILFORD films. NOW I have a FRESH AGFA APX 400 to process and on checking Massive Dev Chart it gives 16.5 Mins for ID11 1+1 dilution and only 14 mins for D76 !!! So WHY are the TIMES Different when the Formula is supposed to be the SAME?

That is way too long. Try about half of that time (7 minutes or so).
