llford FP4 Plus – 120 Film

llford FP4 Plus is an extremely useful medium-speed black and white film that has remained an industry standard for decades. Rated at ISO 125, many photographers prefer to expose it at ISO 100 for a slight overexposure that improves shadow detail and overall tonal richness.

Known for its reliable performance and generous exposure latitude, FP4 Plus is equally suited to beginners and professionals. Its classic emulsion delivers fine grain—not invisible, but with a subtle texture that adds character often missing from overly perfect digital images. When developed in high-acutance developers like Rodinal, the grain becomes more pronounced and gritty, a look many photographers find desirable for prints around 8×10 inches from 35mm negatives.
