I do use the guidance from Illford, which indicated ID11 at stock, 1+1 or 1+3(4?) with a maximum temperature of 24C. I just figured I would develop at 1+1 and the maximum temperature as it seemed like a reasonable rate to consume the stock ID11 given the amount of film I shoot and provides for considerably faster development than at 20C. I guess I am wondering if these decisions are having a material effect on the negative and if so, should I consider some other combination of temperature and dilution. I sense the need for some experimentation!
Thanks again for the feedback.
