Best budget option

good price for 36 exposure, can be pushed to 1600 okay in details, grain noticeably blocky in unfocused areas.

I wanted to shoot with my Xpan and needed to purchase film fast. B&H had a variety of B&W films to choose from at decent prices. Received the film in just three days!

Love it

I switched from Tri-X to HP5+ because it's less expensive, looks just as good, and because the film lays flat which give me better corner-to-corner sharpness. Tri-X has a tendency to curl.

Can't go wrong with HP5+

I've been using this film in 35mm for a long time. Tried it for the first time in 120 and I'm quite happy with the result.

HP5 is always a go to for 35mm photography. With buying the film I'm bulk, the answer is pretty simple. More for for less $ per roll Highly recommend as the film I received was fairly fresh having the expiration date set in 2026. Once I run out, will most likely buy again!

What is expiration date of this film?Thank you.
Asked by: Anonymous
Unfortunately, we do not have access to our inventory and cannot provide this type of information; however, any film that was within 6-months of its expiration date would be sold as short dated and listed as such on our site. All other film will be at least 6 months out from its expiration date.

The number of exposures you can get from a roll of 120 film will depend on the format of the camera you are using. If your camera is 6 x 4.5, there are 15 or 16 exposures; 6 x 6 cameras will get 12/13 exposures, 6 x 7 cameras get 10 exposures, 6 x 8 cameras will get 9 exposures, and so forth.

What is the total thickness of the 70mm film? ...

What is the total thickness of the 70mm film? (emulsion + base). Does "layer" thickness listed in the film specs indicate total thickness? I understand that there is no backing paper on this film. The 70mm film is not listed on the Ilford website. Thanks.
Asked by: PAUL
Yes the layer thickness listed here would indicate the total thickness.
