I think I have to add that Ilfosol S contains both hydroquinone and
ascorbate according to MSDS, last time I checked.

Ilfosol S is a decent, moderately high accutance developer suitable
for APX25, Pan F Plus, TMX, Acros, etc. but I wouldn't use it for most
400 speed films. The biggest shortcoming of this developer is, of
course, very short shelf life once opened. I'd prefer DS-12 to Ilfosol
S for this reason and for absence of hydroquinone.
