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.

Versatile black and white film.
At ISO 400, this film is great in essentially any adequate lighting. I've used it in full sun, shade, indoors and at night under artifical light, and gotten excellent results.
It has great contrast, for bold images.

Like a familiar pair of shoes
HP5 is a staple. Shoot it, learn how it behaves, and it’ll be there for you forever.
I have a bag of these from 2023 which I need to develop so after getting the bug again figured I should start cheaply to get to grips. Unfortunately my camera has developed a light leak which ran accross a number of shots, though I think even some of these work.
The bright Spanish sunshine helped greatly with this, and I really like the contrast and grain. I'm likely to start developing my own B&W film soon, so I can have more scope for experimentation to see how far it can go.

First time in a long time
First time in a long time using film. The quality of the Ilford HP5 Plus more than compensated for my lack of skill. Allowing me to capture some really good images. I would also like to add that the service from analogue wonderland is first class.
