ILFORD MICROPHEN is a versatile black & white powder film developer that gives an effective increase in film speed whilst retaining the grain characteristics associated with fine grain developers.

While an increase of half a stop can be achieved with most slow speed films, MICROPHEN is especially suited to faster films such as HP5 PLUS, DELTA 400 PROFESSIONAL and DELTA 3200 PROFESSIONAL, where it can give an effective increase in film speed whilst still retaining the grain characteristics associated with fine grain developers.

David E. ★★★★★

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.

Riley ★★★★★

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.

Hazel O. ★★★★★

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.
