Shopper : Are there any commercial film processors that will develop ILFORD PANF 50 B&W 35 mmm film?MICHAEL B : I use ILFORD Lab Direct.JAMES F : I use the "Darkroom" online lab for all my film. I have not had any problems with developing color or B/W film of all types using the lab, I highly recommend them. Hope this helps. The film is a great choice.ANTHONY R : Yes, there are many labs across the country that will process this B&W film, including E-6 in Atlanta and Millers in Kansas. You can find more online by searching Google for photography lab or similar. You should call them to discuss your processing needs. While I process all of my B&W film myself, I have sent color film to both labs listed and had very good results.WILLIAM D : I send my Ilford and other films to Fairview Photo Service in Berea, Ohio.
Ken J : Is this a good landscape film or is it better suited for portrait work?CHARLES D : This film would be a good choice for landscape or any type of photo work that you may want to print in a larger format.

Ilford Pan F plus 50

This is an excellent film. If what is needed is a slow, sharp film, this one holds up well and shows all the detail.

If you want super-fine grain structure, great tonal range and a nice slow emulsion then this B/W film is for you

If you want super-fine grain structure, great tonal range and a nice slow emulsion then this B/W film is for you. Not recommended for anything action oriented unless you like artistic blurring.

Great film for "film guys"

This is a great film for those artsy pictures you want to take with actual film. It's forgiving and the tones are great.

Nice Grain,

I Would Strongly recommend Ilford Pan 50 for shooting day light, portraits, or flash photography, but of course in low light situations you can not forget your tripod. I Like to use everyday kind of film because there is 36 exposures and I cant use them all for one specific shooting. I like to carry my camera everywhere I go so I like to use film that has a broad scope of uses. However, The black and white is strong and depending on the developing or developer your shots will still turn out great. I'm pleased with it. have fun, and remember it made of Iso50 shooting unless you push your film.

I adore this film!

Amazing capture of highlights and deep vivid shadows. No visible grain. I shot a roll of this in the Smoky Mountains with an orange Hoya filter, and the results blew me away. Watch out; it will scratch easily.

Very strong film

I love this for landscapes in low light; gives fabulous results! Of course being slow speed there is little to no grain, nice smooth even tones when printing.

Stunningly Beautiful Film

Incredible tone separation and acuity; seamless gradation. This film should be rated at EI 25 with subjects directly illuminated by sunlight, but at box speed looks wonderful in shade. Reds tend to render dark. This film has no equal.

The best black and white film

Ilford Pan F 50 gives me just what I need, latitude, versatility and durability. I've been shooting black and white for forty years, with a little luck I'll be shooting Ilford black and white for another forty.

Great film!!!

I shot some of this film years ago on sunny days, and despite my lack of experience at the time, achieved excellent results - beautiful negatives and really crisp prints. This was the first film that yielded me the often touted 'broad tonal range' bragged about by so many films. If you have the light or a tripod, this stuff is great.
