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.

Richard C. ★★★★★

Mixed 35mm rolls came out noticeably crisper, and the fine grain held up even when I pushed a stop. The liquid concentrate mixes fast with no messy powder, which is exactly what I wanted for quick darkroom sessions.

Eli Q. ★★★★★

The fine grain really shows up in my 35mm negatives—shadows hold detail without getting mushy. Mixed the concentrate with water in about two minutes, and the whole roll developed with zero issues. This is my new go-to for everyday shooting.

Hazel Y. ★★★★★

Poured this developer for some FP4 at 1+9 and the liquid concentrate mixed instantly with no residue. Negatives came out with crisp, fine grain that really shows what a classic emulsion can do.
