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.
When you buy your Ilford HP5 film from us we can ship it across the UK, Europe, USA, New Zealand, Australia and Canada (more countries planned soon!) So buy your Ilford HP5 Plus 35mm film today and dive back into the fun of 35mm film photography!

I recently started getting back into film photography this year, starting with a basic holga before getting a manual camera. I wanted to experiment with some black and white film and loved the results I got with this roll.

First roll of film!
This is the first roll of film I've ever shot and I'm very impressed! I had these developed elsewhere so I don't have digital scans, so I've attached a digital photo of a selection of prints :)

Sunny 2.8
Rate at 200, meter for shadows, develop at 800... Contrasty, grainy, sexy, more latitude than the North Pole. I once shot the sun wide open and got a great photo... ok that's a lie, but so is overexposure :)

Dependable & Predictable
Just don't think you can go wrong with HP5+, always predictable results, a good level of contrast and retaining detail with the typical 'HP5 grain'.
My go-to B&W film when I want confidence in the film, shooting something new.

Custom and practice for HP5
King's Lynn Custom House shot on the old HP Sauce.
One or two tiny tweaks to DR, contrast and sharpness after the Wondies sent the scans back.
While I've fallen under the Tri-X spell this still delivers good results.
