Ilford Ilfosol 3 is a liquid concentrate film developer. Formulated to exploit the full potential of conventional black & white film emulsions, it delivers fine grain and optimal sharpness with full film speed.

Suitable for beginners and advanced users alike, this economical film developer is perfect for developing small quantities of black & white films with ease and convenience. Ilfosol 3 is particularly suited to developing medium speed films such as FP4 Plus and Delta 100 Professional.

Supplied as a concentrate in economical 500ml bottles, Ilfosol 3 is typically diluted as a ratio of 1:9 for one shot use. However, for greater economy, it can also be used with many films at a higher dilution of 1:14 with only a small trade off in image quality.

Benjamin Q. ★★★★★

Mixed 500ml with water and the concentrate dissolved perfectly with no residue—much easier than powders I've used before. Developed a roll of HP5+ and the negatives came out with noticeably finer grain and more snap than my usual developer. Just what I needed for sharp, clean scans.

Joshua D. ★★★★★

Finally got consistent results with this liquid concentrate; it mixes quickly without clumps. The fine grain on my Tri-X rolls is noticeably better than with the powder developer I was using.

David ★★★★★

Mixed a batch for some medium format shots and the liquid concentrate made measuring way easier than those powders I’ve used before. The fine grain on the negatives is really impressive, and sharpness is just what I wanted from my Tri-X.
