Description
HP5+ is the iconic Ilford emulsion. It has slightly larger grain structure than the Delta range which will provide a wonderful vintage look to your photos.
HP5 in large format is also very forgiving of wide exposure range so you will get good results in a variety of difficult light and contrast situations. Beautiful black and white.
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.

A classic monochrome film
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

A great, reliable all round film
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.
