If your camera has a red window for viewing the amount of exposures than this is a good film to get.

I personally hp5 is my favorite b&w

My preference over Tri-x

By Jeffrey
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-07-29

I feel Hp5 provides better tonality and also returns better shadow detail over Tri-x. Hp5 also requires less post work even when shot without a filter. More importantly, Hp5 is substantially easier to deal with - - it dries flat and scans easily. Tri-x requires pressing and if not pressed long enough (days) it touches scanner glass resulting in Newton rings. All of the Ilford stocks are the easiest to handle. Finally,, Hp5 is less expensive and the price has been more stable over the last two years.

Good film for beginners. For those who wish to learn photography or are experimenting with the effect of exposure on film.

question

What is the expiry date for the films in the Ilford HP5+ 50-roll pack?
Asked by: Bezalel B.
The bricks I recently received (10/16) are dated April 2020, for a 3.5 year lead time. Probably can't count on that always being the case - could be more or less - but my fairly regular purchases have always had lead times measured in years, definitely not months! (It's b+w, after all.)

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.

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.

whats the exp date of this film? i see the pic is mar 2013 whats that mean?
Asked by: Anonymous
Unfortunately, we do not have access to our inventory since our warehouses are in a different location, 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 March 2013 date in the product photo on the webpage is simply for illustrative purposes and does not reflect the date of all of the film that is available.

Can this film be processed in a red lit dark ...

Can this film be processed in a red lit dark room?
Asked by: Chris
Well you have to take the film out in complete darkness and get it into into your film developer tank. Once the film is developed you can of course have it in your red light lit darkroom, but I'm pretty sure you can't take the undeveloped film out in red, or any other, light.
