Comments about Ilford FP4 Plus 4x5" 25 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-125):
This is one of the best. I've been able to make some great shots using this film. The tonal range is about perfect, and the grain is virtually non-existant.
Perfect for landscapes, the contrast range is spot on!

I used this film for a large format camera for my college photography class. Didn't have any issues with the film and my pictures turned out great. So far I've only taken pictures during the day, but the quality of my images was fantastic.

essentially grainless, i use this film to capture clouds. The amount of gray tones that end up on the final print blows my mind.

Comments about Ilford FP4 Plus 4x5" 25 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-125):
I've been using Ilford film since the day I ran out of film while in England in the early 70's It has always provided me with even tonal ranges, and explicit blacks and white. Provides great large prints with little grain, or none.

Love using the Ilford FP4. I'm able to get great detail with the 125, and the emulsions are quite accurate. I only wish that they made a more detailed reciprocity chart that went over 30sec.

Comments about Ilford FP4 Plus 4x5" 25 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-125):
Most of my problems were the result of user error as this semester was my first time using 4x5 format. What I don't like is the lack of grain, but that's a personal preference. The film itself it's very reliable and it's reasonably priced which makes it great for students.

Comments about Ilford FP4 Plus 4x5" 25 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-125):
Still my standard film, developed in PMK, used for spectacular (if I say so myself) 16x20 prints. While a faster film (ISO 400) would be more convenient for field work, the gradation of FP4 is superior: more even contrast, from shadows right through separated whites in clouds. Faster films, to my eye, tend to "cluster" low to middle values around zone IV, which means that value dominates the print.
