Usually when a film stock is on sale it's short dated. Or even expired. All the film I ordered was fresh batches that don't expire for a few years. Not that I'd be worried about bw film being expired but nice to see.

I can't shoot any other bw film, and I recognize this one INSTANTLY when I see it. I love the soft greys and the light grain.

I've used HP5 for decades, from 35 to 4x5, and it's nearly my only film now. I use only D-23, but I can get just about any kind of negative I need with thoughtful exposure and processing. In 4x5, that typically means anything from a very long-range scene to a very flat one, with ratings from 200 to 800. My work does not require the high acutance and absolutely grainless appearance that some require from enormous prints. Remember that even a 16x20 is only just over a 4x enlargement, so even with significant cropping, a 4x5 neg printed to 11x14 is grainless (and 645 negs very fine grain indeed). The speed and versatility of this film are reliable and often a choice for fine printers.

For the price of $6 bucks a roll the film is really nice to use an the photos come out great. If you aren't afraid to get a little stylistic push it 2 stops for stunning (if grainy) contrast.

I’ve had this brand of film unused in 8X10 holders stored in my basement for 7 years, not even protected from moisture or humidity. COVID caused me to get out my old Korona (!) and test the film in it. Eureka! - perfect results! So I used it for a Christmas portrait of my little granddaughters. Their Mom’s so happy with it she’ll use it for their card.

dependable film, great images
By jblackdub
I have always preferred Ilford films to Kodak and Fuji for black and white. HP5 is a time tested favorite of mine and the 4x5 format is great for this film
Great Film, Great Price!
