Ilford Pan F Plus 120 Black & White Negative (Print) Film (ISO-50)

Comments about Ilford Pan F Plus 120 Black & White Print Film (ISO-50):

A large part of the joy I derive from photography comes from working with film and related silver gelatin materials.

Over the years I've come to know (and lament the loss of) some very excellent, fine grain emulsions (such as Panatomic X and Kodachrome 25).

But, thanks to Ilford, we still have Pan F+ - a very fine (non tabular) grain, black and white emulsion that's easy to work with - and produces beautiful images in a wide variety of applications.

This film is amazing. Not easy to work with in terms of lighting -- so be sure you have proper lighting equipment or shoot outside (for those college students). Generates very fine grain!

The main use for landscape photography. The excellent quality and sharpness if you process right.

No question that if you're shooting black and white and have a ton of light, this is the film to go with. Not much else to say.

This film is amazing, very fine grain, beautiful contrast and develops like a charm in HC-110. Scans very well.

I really like Pan F+ for its lack of grain, awesome tonality without filters and the negatives lay flat really nicely for scanning.

Use for intermediate photography class to make grainless enlargements. Excellent results, see very little grain in grain focuser when making enlargements. Good results with prints, will definitely use again.

I have used this film, Pan F Plus, for 10 years since I went back to using a Mamiya 645. I had not used this type of camera for a decade due to the first one I had was lost. I am a scenic photographer out here in the west. When shooting I set the lens at f22 make the concession of using a tripod to turn out excellent captured images. The depth in printing gives me plenty of latitude to create rich silver prints on Ilford paper. I have been a photographer for over 40 years and tried the gamut of films but this is the best for my black and white work.
To give a better idea of this film it really picks up the grain in the old wood from collapsing barns, yet gives greater richness to a shot of the Spiral Jetty that has a back drop of the Great Salt Lake. Yes, it is a slow film which in many ways gets one to think and plan their next shot something I enjoy. The only draw back is that I wish they made this film for my 5x7 camera.

Absolutely brilliant film-- by far the best 120 film I've ever used. Virtually grainless and renders shadows and highlights beautifully. Breathtaking results when developed with Ilford perceptol.

The landscape photographs are really detailed, fine grain. You just have to be carefull not to use it in hard sunlight, you lose grey tones.

Comments about Ilford Pan F Plus 120 Black & White Print Film (ISO-50):

Great film for anything that needs high detail retention. I use it for landscapes and architecture mostly. Slower film, so it's best used outdoors.

Comments about Ilford Pan F Plus 120 Black & White Print Film (ISO-50):

Use for Medium Format. Very fine grain and good tonality.Prints can be blown up to Large sizes without loss of quality.

Beautiful tonal quality and sharpness. I would highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind using a tripod.

Comments about Ilford Pan F Plus 120 Black & White Print Film (ISO-50):

consistantly reproduceable sharpness and tonality.

Comments about Ilford Pan F Plus 120 Black & White Print Film (ISO-50):

I use this film for about 90% of my landscape images.If you are looking for a very sharp film with loads of tone and you don't mind working more slowly from a tripod this is in my opinion simply the best.The inherent high contrast with careful development is a delight giving plenty of smooth grain free tone. I highly recommend this film.

Comments about Ilford Pan F Plus 120 Black & White Print Film (ISO-50):

While this film is slow and in dim light I use a tripod, it is without a doubt the best contrast, grainless, and rich toned black and white film I have ever used. It is my black andf white film of choice whenever I can get away with the slower speed.

Dose a great job of fine copy work

Comments about Ilford Pan F Plus 120 Black & White Print Film (ISO-50):

I pull this film to 25 ASA and develop it in Ilford Perceptol their fine grain developer at 1/3. The results are the sharpest images I have ever seen so far and virtually no grain. The added advantage is the long development time of 15 minutes. If your as careful in temperature control of your film development as I am you'll like that this extended time means small temperature shifts will be less likely to affect the consistency of results from roll to roll.
