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.

I normally shoot it at 200 now as it just seems to give it some extra welly.
Dynamic range slightly tweaked, but doesn't add a lot more noise to the scans, which as usual were pretty spot-on.

Reliable
The last time I used FP4 was 30 years ago to take some family portraits in medium format on a Yashica MAT TLR. They came out superbly-some of the best portraits I've ever taken. With this film I was testing a new (old) 24mm lens on a Nikon F5 and didn't have interesting subject matter! The film still holds up: predictable and reliable; just the right amount of contrast, plenty of detail and nice controllable grain. If I were to do portraits again I might choose this but for other things I think I have now found more interesting emulsions, including those that have none of the predictability of FP4.

Classic for a reason
Lovely sharpness and rendition of a broad range of tones. Exposure latitude is brilliant and can be pushed very successfully. I pushed 2 stops in these images for a bit more contrast and the grain structure is still really nice.

Love this for protests!
FP4 is a really lovely black and white, its high contrasts make it a great choice if dramatics is what you want. I think if I had taken these photos on any other film, it just wouldn't have done them justice.
