ILFORD MICROPHENは、フィルム感度を効果的に向上させながら、微粒子現像液に特徴的な粒状性を維持する多用途の白黒粉末フィルム現像液です。
ほとんどの低感度フィルムでは半絞りの増感が可能ですが、MICROPHENはHP5 PLUS、DELTA 400 PROFESSIONAL、DELTA 3200 PROFESSIONALなどの高感度フィルムに特に適しており、微粒子現像液に特徴的な粒状性を維持しながら、フィルム感度を効果的に向上させることができます。
Finally, a developer that keeps Tri-X sharp even when I push it two stops in dim light. Mixed up a liter in about five minutes with no clumps and the concentrate lasted through several rolls without losing consistency. Grain stays tight and negatives come out beautifully crisp.
I’ve been able to push my HP5 to 800 without losing shadow detail, and the fine grain it keeps is exactly what I wanted for portraits. Mixing the powder took a little patience to fully dissolve, but the 1L batch gave me plenty of working solution for a week of shooting.
It’s rare to find a developer that genuinely boosts speed without turning grain into a mess, but this concentrate did exactly that on my last roll of HP5. The powder dissolved cleanly and the 1L batch stored fine for a few weeks, which is more than I can say for some liquid developers.
