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

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

Bob Carnie · Dec 23, 2017

ID eleven... is what I call it.

RattyMouse · Dec 23, 2017

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

RattyMouse · Dec 23, 2017

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

John Wiegerink · Dec 23, 2017

ID-2 for me.

David Lyga · Dec 23, 2017

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

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

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

Idii

Call it "Iddy-eye"

Rudeofus · Dec 23, 2017

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 · Dec 23, 2017

I resolved this perplexing question by using HC110.

R.Gould · Dec 23, 2017

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

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

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 · Dec 23, 2017

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

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

not a dumb question at

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 · Dec 23, 2017

ID2... ID11... IDK.

Sirius Glass · Dec 23, 2017

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.

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"...
