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.

William ★★★★★

Pushed this to 1600 and the grain stayed tight with plenty of shadow detail, which is exactly what I need for gloomy street shots. The panchromatic response handles mixed lighting without any weird contrast jumps. It's become my go-to roll for days when I can't predict what the light will do.

Charlotte ★★★★★

Shooting this at box speed gives me beautifully smooth mid-tones, and the panchromatic response handles tricky mixed lighting without any fuss. It's become my go-to roll for everyday street work.

Henry ★★★★★

Pushed it to 1600 for a dimly lit concert and the grain stayed gorgeous, not muddy. The contrast holds up beautifully even when I’m lazy with my development times. This is my go-to roll when I can’t decide what the day will throw at me.
