Comments about Ilford HP5 Plus 4x5" 100 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
This film is fast enough for English light levels, never varies and doesn't seem to age noticeably- as you'd expect from a rather high-priced, pedigree product.

Comments about Ilford HP5 Plus 4x5" 100 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
Ansel Adams taught that a photographer should use one type of film and know it very well.
I bought 3 boxes of HP5 sheets to learn on.
This is a very versatile film that pushes and pulls well. And also has a lot of allowances for beginning photographers. It is very adaptable to many situtations.

Comments about Ilford HP5 Plus 4x5" 100 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
Great film that retains all the information you would expect out of a 4x5 image. Very consistent and reliable. Scans very well. But you have to be careful with it as it scratches very easily.

Comments about Ilford HP5 Plus 4x5" 100 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
Great all around 400 speed film. I use rodinal as my primary developer, and it gives good sharpness and tonality. Handles good contrast range. 4x5 in rodinal will make excellent, tight 20x24 print. Also shoot 5x7 sheet for ones that are going up to 40"x56".

HP5 is one of the best films I've ever shot, and as a photo student I've shot a lot of them. Developed in PMK Pyro or Pyrocat HD this film yields excellent speed and image quality.

Comments about Ilford HP5 Plus 4x5" 100 Sheets Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
I chose this film as a good "easy" film to begin learning the 4x5 view camera. I am very impressed with the quality and tonal range of what I've shot so far. The value of this film versus higher-priced kodak film is great!
