I enjoyed the consistency and flexibility of this film, especially when developed in Rodinal 1+50. I have tried boutique or small company films, but have had inconsistent results that won't do for assignment work or special family events. I keep coming back to this film, since it has never failed me.

This is great film at a fair price. Unfortunately I made a huge order to stock up and then it got stolen off my porch. To their credit, adorama worked with me and stayed on top of UPS to get me a refund. Frustrating experience but Adorama handled it well and I would order from them again.

The high ISO of Ilford HP5 offsets the handicap of slower medium format lenses, yet its tonal range is wide and its grain is well controlled.

HP5 is one the best black and white film stocks. It's THE standard. Adorama doing a great job with the packaging, as always.

From my perspective of a novice in film photography, Ilford HP5+ is an ideal b&w film. The exposure latitude is forgiving. The 400 ISO is versatile for a lot of lighting situations. Probably most importantly, it's pretty affordable. I feel comfortable experimenting a bit without being as worried as I would about wasting a roll of $18 film.

What can you say about HP5?it?s my go-to BW film stock and the only one I buy bricks of these days. Beautiful tonality and flexible for whatever your style. Best all-arounder. And of course Adorama FTW.

HP5 is flexible with low grain and looks great with the Matt Day special- metered at 800 and pushed +2 in processing. Versatile, reliable, and virtually fool proof.

beautiful film! I would suggest y'all start packaging it in metal canisters though, the entire roll is just inside an unsealed black bag inside of the box it comes in so it doesn't feel as well protected from the light as bulk rolls in metal canisters come! thanks though!

This is my go to film for general photography. It has great latitude and a consistent look. I have pushed it to 3200 with great results although I typically shoot it at box speed.

Most versatile film
By Sharon K.
Ilford's HP5+ is one of the best films on the market today. Versatility is a word that describes it well. It can be used for fine art photography, street photography, low light, and any number of other situations. With the correct developer you can achive ISO speeds up to 3200! I would not advise this film if you are looking for fine grain.
I really love the look of HP5
By Stephen A.
I've always heard Tri-X is the best black and white film, but to be perfectly frank, I really love the look of HP5. It's not as contrasty, so if high contrast is what you want, perhaps it's better to stick to the classic; but what I do notice is that there is a lot more tonal range in this film, and that it pushes very well. Shooting at speed renders clean images, articulate, detailed, not particularly grainy; pushed to 800 and the grain becomes more apparent but not in an unflattering way.
It's time to capture the world in monochrome with the ILFORD HP5 PLUS Black and White Film. This high-speed, fine-grain film is designed to deliver medium contrast images, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of photography genres. Whether you're into journalism, documentary, travel, sports, action, or indoor photography with available light, this ISO 400 film is your perfect partner.
The HP5 PLUS is renowned for producing negatives of exceptional sharpness and fine grain, regardless of the lighting conditions. Its unique formulation allows it to respond well to push-processing, and it can be rated up to El 3200/36 Degree. This feature makes it a versatile tool for photographers of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals.
One of the standout features of the HP5 PLUS is its wide exposure latitude. This means it can handle a broad range of lighting conditions, giving you the flexibility to shoot in various scenarios. Furthermore, this 35mm film, with its 36 exposures, can be processed in a variety of developers using spiral tanks, deep tanks, and automatic processors.
In essence, the ILFORD HP5 PLUS Black and White Film is not just a film; it's a tool that lets you capture the world in its raw, unfiltered beauty. Whether you're returning to film or exploring it for the first time, this film will help you create stunning black and white images with a classic touch.
