Not the easiest of books, Norm, in terms of content to absorb or strength to even hold it, if you are suffering from such a condition. I had a frozen shoulder or so the doctor said from overuse of a Kango Hammer one weekend many years ago. I didn't feel a thing at the time of use unfortunately. The shoulders, once affected, can be swines to get better but if my experience of that and a pinched nerve in the shoulder is anything to go by then time is your friend and it will get better

Hi Norm
I think you need to do a bit more research and visit the Ilford web site. From the data sheet I have from Ilford on their developers :- REUSING DEVELOPER WITHOUT REPLENISHMENT (unreplenished) Martin |

I use Perceptol 1+1 using a jobo cpe2 with lift, multi tank 6 x2 1litre in each tank (overfilling does strain the motor) 12 films from one packet.
I keep exposed films in the fridge. The best results are using perceptol at 1+3 and filling tanks really full, but hand problems put paid to that, you cannot use 1+3 in a cpe2 Bob |

I am not surprised that there is some confusion about Perceptol's effect on film speed when used at different dilutions. According to the information printed on a packet of Perceptol that I just bought from Ilford, you can use Pan F, Delta 100 and FP4+ at full box speed when using Perceptol at 1+0, 1+1 or 1+3. (So for these films the popular notion that Peceptol reduces film speed is, presumably, a myth) But you can't get full box speed from HP5+ or Delta 400. If you use it at 1+0 (i.e. stock solution) with HP5+ you only get a speed of 250. This goes up to 320 if you use the 1+1 or 1+3 dilutions. Ditto for Delta 400 except they don't give a time for the 1+3 dilution. (So the for 400 speed films the popular notion that Perceptol reduces film speed is not a myth, apparently...)
Confused? Don't blame me folks. But do check out Ilford's fact sheet if you intend using Perceptol for the first time. I hope this doesn't put anyone off Perceptol. The 1+3 dilution with 35mm FP4+ is superb. Alan |

You do not need 200 ml of stock solution with Perceptol. This is an urban myth that was caused by a common misinterpretation of the instructions. We had a long thread about this some time ago and came to the conclusion that 100 ml or even less is fully sufficient. I usually use 125 ml + 375 ml of water to full satisfaction.

Also there are no suggested ball park development times for quite a few films. What about Fuji Acros 100, the offerings from: Rollei, Adox, Foma and their own Kentmere and Ilford Pan? The Perceptol box/instructions I have got is quite old, is there a link to Ilfords website/data sheets printed on the latest packaging?

Norm, PanF, Kentmere 100 and Kentmere 400 are actually listed in the instructions on the Perceptol packet. And they do list times for some non-Ilford films. I actually think this is quite laudable of them. If you look at Kodak's instructions for , say, D76, you only get times for Kodak films.
Norm, if you want Ilford's latest data sheet, the website on my new packet is www.ilfordphoto.com Alan |
