Comments about Ilford Ilford FP4 Plus Fine Grain Medium Speed Black and White Film, ISO 125, 8 x 10" - 25 Sheets:
This film is today's standard by which all B&W films are measured (in landscape photography). This film can be pushed 2 stops without adding appreciably to graininess, and processes well with many types of developers. (It will be your developer that limits it's ability to expand--rather than the film)! For pyro fans, this film is just about perfect--with slightly less stain than several other films on the market, but the ability to push much further (which more than makes up for that slight loss of density). It's tonal range is completely exceptional, and does allow for exposure error (especially over-exposure). Though it is medium speed, it has fine grain.

After years of digital wankery, it was good to get back to shooting large format film. While not as forgiving as T-Max, good tonal range and contrast make this the film for me.
