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.

Good fast film
This is my first experience of HP5+ and I'm really pleased with it. I was expecting it to be very grainy, and, though it's visible it is not intrusive or overpowering. As is the case for most films it is more pronounced in big skies (see first image) but in the scene of the fishing boats it is not so noticeable. I was pleased with both the level of detail and the tonal range (Semi-stand in R09 1+100) . It will be an excellent film especially in the darker winter weather.

Versatile
As a sports photographer (mainly rugby) using digital, I use film at special games. It provides a different sort of record to digital, and it's an advantage that there is a second batch of pics coming out on socials a week after the match. HP5 is what I use on a Nikon D90x. It's a great documentary style combination. The versatility of the film is fantastic, recording enough detail in the shadows, and the right amount of contrast and impact, alongside the lovely grain. Lends itself to editing in Lightroom for a digital fusion approach as I rarely get the opportunity to print work at the moment.

Love the grain
My first analogue film in decades, with a camera I'd never tested. I miss-set the ISO at 100 for the whole roll but I love the grainy moodiness this film presents as a result.
