Exhibiting notably wide exposure latitude, this film responds well to use in mixed and difficult lighting and provides medium contrast for greater overall control. It has a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27° when developed in standard black and white chemistry, and responds well to push processing. HP5 Plus is a flexible film type that is ideally suited for use in general photographic applications in an array of different lighting conditions

Review: HP5 The new King of Film - I have been using HP5 for years. It pushes and pulls wonderfully (can shoot it over or under the ISO rating that Ilford recommends), it has an ample contrast range, I can change developing times and alter contrast (yes at a price of tonal range but that is the balance we look for). You can shoot this exactly as Ilford recommends and you will love it. But as you grow comfortable with it you have such a wide latitude with this film to alter it and make the final product your own. For example I shoot it at an Exposure Index of 200 (as compared to recommended ISO of 400). I the. Develop it close to the recommended 400 iso settings. This gives me a nice balance of contrast and tonal range. I do not scan my pictures. I take the negative into the darkroom and print them. The pictures you see and video attached are HP5 shot in this fashion. Look at that smooth grain, look at the tonal range and look at those deep, blacks and vibrant whites!
Review: Great B&W film - If your old enough to remember the Kodak Tri-X pan and Plus-X pan, you will love this film. Faster and finer grain than the stuff I was using back then. Great B&W film.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great B&W film
*by F***Y on December 5, 2013*

If your old enough to remember the Kodak Tri-X pan and Plus-X pan, you will love this film. Faster and finer grain than the stuff I was using back then. Great B&W film.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tri-who?
*by J***Y on June 14, 2024*

Kodak used to make great film. They still do, but it is over priced compared to the offerings of Ilford, which are all at least the Kodak version equivalent's, if not their superior. HP5 Likes to be stressed. Push it. Pull it. It shines. Box speed is a joke. Rate it at 200, develop it normally. Or shoot it at 128000 and develop in Dektol. Treat it like the filthy strumpet it is. Kiss it good night with careful development, and she will fulfill your deepest darkest dreams, accented with voluminous, infinitely varying shades of gray. Very much like Tri-X, but not nearly as susceptible to reticulation. If you don't know what that is, put the camera down, and just shoot some XP2 and send it out for development. Ilford rocks. Always has. Still does.
