If you are looking for a highly versatile and traditional black and white film, look no further! ILFORD HP5 PLUS is a panchromatic film designed for general use in a wide variety of shooting conditions. Exhibiting notably wide exposure latitude, it responds well to use in mixed and difficult lighting and provides medium contrast for greater overall control. It has a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27° when developed in standard black and white chemistry, and responds well to push processing.


Storage and handling: Load and unload film in subdued light. Store unexposed film in a refrigerator at 13°C (55°F) or lower in the original sealed package. To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room temperature before opening the package. Process film as soon as possible after exposure. Protect processed film from strong light, and store it in a cool, dry place.

Miles D. ★★★★★

Pushed this to 800 and pulled shadows back in development—the latitude is exactly why I keep a roll loaded. Grain stays tight for a 400-speed stock, and it handles mixed lighting without me overthinking exposure.

Julian D. ★★★★★

Pushed this to 1600 in a friend's basement darkroom and the grain stayed beautifully tight through the whole roll. The panchromatic response handled mixed window light and tungsten without any weird surprises. My go-to for 120 now.

Abigail ★★★★★

Shot a whole roll of this at box speed and then pushed it two stops in a pinch; the grain stayed tight and the contrast was gorgeous for portraits. It's become my go-to 120 film for mixed lighting because it just handles everything I throw at it.
