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.

A fantastic film.
HP5’s reasonable price aside, the main reasons of my affinity to this film so much is how easy it is to push the film 1 or 2 stops giving great flexibility and just the finish for what I’m looing for. Best pushing to 800 for for me. Overall though, is the power it gives for playing around with light but especially the shadows and darkness which is where my soul lies in my photography.

The most versatile black and white film on the market
Okay, some films may have more contrast (T-Max/Tri-X), or finer grain (Ferrania P30), or are even cheape(Kentmere 400), but in my opinion, HP5 plus is hands down the most versatile black and white film you can buy. It can be pushed for more contrast and more speed, it's forgiving if you mess up on the exposure, it's under £10 for a roll of 36 and it's pretty easy to develop yourself. And you're also supporting the British film industry by buying film made in the UK! What more could you want?

First 24 exposures for 30 years
I started using film in the 1980's, then stopped when digital arrived. Here we are 30 years later and I just shot my first 24 exposures on Ilford HP5 ISO 400 bought from Analogue Wonderland. The whole experience was wonderful, it was like coming home. The images are wonderful and I can't thank AW enough. I wanted to experiment with grain, modern cameras are too clean looking. These are just experiments but I am hooked again.
