Ilford was founded in 1879 in the English town of the same name. They are B&W royalty in the photography industry thanks to their 140-year heritage and their support for photographers with chemicals and development as well as film. In the mid-20th Century they produced several well-regarded camera lines (including one given to Princess Elizabeth that was later stolen!) but today they are focused on producing the best films and development processes that they can.

Such a good film!
Great film for so many situations, professional work and just for sticking in a point and shoot and having fun! Plus the C-41 developing makes a great option for places where you may not have access to B&W or it B&W developing may take too long or be to expensive!
a casual BW film, C41 compatible but not very versatile
I have run a few rolls both 135 and 120 but was slightly disappointed with the results.
Blackpoint and dynamic range are the main set backs. This film is light hungry and takes time to fine-tune both in terms of exposure and development. Details can get lost in shadows very easily as well as highlights blown and overexposure is not always the answer, I have not tried pulling or pushing it but suspect pulling might give you more in shadow detail. Low contrast filter and soft filter helps a little as well as a yellow one for clouds/sky contrast but it still lacks the dynamic range I would need. different results in C41 and classic BW, not are why; underwhelmed.

Better than HP5
I way prefer this over HP5. Lovely and constrasty. Good for day and can easily be pushed for night shots. Cheaper to develop as its C41 but can still be done at home in BW chemicals.
