Perhaps the dumbest question ever posed but, I am embarrassed ...

[David Lyga]

The ILFORD formula that is identical to D-76: Is it pronounced 'ID TWO' or 'ID ELEVEN'? - David Lyga

 

[Bob Carnie]

ID eleven... is what I call it.

 

[RattyMouse]

They aren't Roman numerals so I can't see why anyone would call it ID two.

 

[RattyMouse]

ID-11= ID eleven
ID-II= ID two

 

[John Wiegerink]

ID-2 for me.

 

[David Lyga]

I know the difference between Arabic and Roman but I wanted to know for sure if the name of the formula was stated correctly. Sometimes people simply place '1' where 'I' should go. "Eleven" then should be correct. I hope. - David Lyga

 

[David Lyga]

Now we have a disagreement. There is no consensus. Where is Simon Galley? - David Lyga

 

[Anon Ymous]

Ilford ID2 is a totally different, MQ, universal developer. ID11 is the D76 equivalent.

 

[Nodda Duma]

Idii

Call it "Iddy-eye"

 

[Rudeofus]

Ilford has/had both ID-2 and ID-11, formulas can be found here and here. It is clear from these two pages, that ID-11, not ID-2, is equivalent to Kodak's D-76.

Certainly not the dumbest question ever!

ID-eleven for me!!

 

[DWThomas]

I resolved this perplexing question by using HC110.

 

[R.Gould]

It is Ilford Developer formula eleven, which has become shortened to ID !!.

Ah, yes, Kodak's venerable HC-two-oh

The definitive answer was given by Rudeofus. There can be no contest to this information. Case closed. I was surprised by how many other people did not know this. - David Lyga

Extraordinary humor for a man so placid. - David Lyga

 

[bdial]

The real question is why did it take Kodak 75 formulas to get to D-76, but Ilford only needed 10 to get to ID-11?

 

[AgX]

The problem started with you Americans using the Roman figure I... for Arabic numbers.

 

[Sal Santamaura]

...Where is Simon Galley?...

Likely basking in the joy of retirement and not needing to deal with those who gave him a hard time on then-APUG.

 

[RalphLambrecht]

not a dumb question at

The ILFORD formula that is identical to D-76: Is it pronounced 'ID TWO' or 'ID ELEVEN'? - David Lyga

all and the true answer may only come from Ilford but, I also call it 'ID eleven'; not sure why.

See the two little "ticks" at the tops of the characters? What does tell you? These are numbers, not letters as in Roman numerals. So it's ID-eleven for sure.

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

ID2... ID11... IDK.

 

[Sirius Glass]

No David that is not the dumbest question that you ever posed. It is a good question. So if you want to find your dumbest question you will have to dig much deeper than that. If I were you, I would not bother to think about it.

 

[E. von Hoegh]

ID-11= ID eleven
ID-II= ID two

If they're Roman numerals, wouldn't be "ID due" ?

A similar issue I have got with those type fonts that use the same shape for the lower case "l" and the capital "I" ... and of course the Roman"I"...
