I use the same brand of film for my 35mm film camera and have witnessed wonderful results, even for a novice like myself. I am hoping that pairing this brand with my new Holga 120N will produce even wackier yet quality results.

This is a very good film in either 120 or 35mm. Fast and with a velvety contrast. Very easy to home develop. Scans of the larger negative with the 120 are breathtaking!

Comments about Ilford Ilford HP-5 Plus 400 Fast Black and White Professional Film, ISO 400, 120 Size:

I used an entire roll of this stuff to shoot my friends graduation from college, I usually use Delta Pro 100 for a smaller grain structure on scans, but for some reason I just had a roll of HP5+ on me that I had ordered to test. With a little fear I spooled my magazine and started snapping away. After development, I scanned the roll to make digital copies available for my friend and his family, and I was BLOWN AWAY. I was expecting grainier than usual negatives, but was happily greeted by fine grain with a great tonal range on these images. This film made it easy for me to shoot some low-light shaded shots without problems, a great flexible film with a beautiful structure to scan. I will totally use this again!

Comments about Ilford Ilford HP-5 Plus 400 Fast Black and White Professional Film, ISO 400, 120 Size:

Used for travel photojournalism recently; overall a great film, but there are some drawbacks on graininess. Only used it for 1 roll, so maybe it was a sub-par one. I prefer Neopan.

I use a Holga camera so I get a different result from this film then a pro medium format camera would get. This film produces great negatives that can be scanned then worked on in photoshop.
