Thornfield HouseIlford HP5 36 Exp Black & White Print Film
Our Price: £10.99
Ilford HP5 36 Exp Black & White Print Film is a high speed, medium contrast film making it especially suitable for action and press photography and also an excellent choice for general purpose photography. Nominally rated at ISO 400 , it yields negatives of outstanding sharpness and fine grain under all lighting conditions. HP5 PLUS has been formulated to respond well to push processing and film speeds up to EI 3200/36 are achievable with Ilford Michrophen developer maintaining good shadow detail and well separated mid-tones with sharp grain.
Awesome. Push two stops for extra grain and contrast.
I started using HP5 in 1978 - and it is still my go-to 400 BW Neg film. Some prefer Tri-X, but I never got on with it. HP5 at 400 (processed in ID11) has a lovely tonality and pretty smooth grain structure. At 1600 in Microphen is where I really love this film - the grain is pronounced, but really pleasant and with a punchy end result that lends itself to wide aperture low light photography (theatre, smoky jazz clubs... etc.). I rate this as my most favourite film of all time.
