Wide exposure latitude, relatively fine grain depending on developer and with a fast box speed. Improved shadow detail if exposed at ASA 200. It is of lower contrast than, say, Tri-X. A fine all rounder
Long time favoured by many, with good reason.
Just started out with large format B&W photography. Ilford FP4 and HP5 give me solid predictable performance while I am getting used to the new format.
I use HP5+ at ISO400 in a pinhole camera but especially a Wanderlust point and shoot camera. I develop it in Rodinal, pull it, push it and it has proved completely reliable. When I make a mistake in taking a pic - or developing - within reason, HP5+ will still produce a result.
Great latitude & fine grain!
Let's not mess about...
We all know how fantastic HP5 is! I wish they made larger boxes of it in 4x5. Skip Foma if you can HP5 at this size is truly amazing!
As a large format shooter I find the stock I keep coming back to is HP5. If you've shot black and white film, odds are you've used HP5 before. I develop it in ARS Imago monobath with Strearman press. This workflow has resulted in many great images and the latitude of the film itself has helped me to get some really nice prints out of the dark room. Can't fault this film, even pushed to 800 on LF.
I can tell there some lovely passionate people running this store which makes it so much more pleasurable taking up this almost lost art. Thank you!
