Ilford HP5 Plus 400 – 35mm Black & White Film

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 is a classic high-speed black and white film beloved by photographers for its flexibility, reliability, and forgiving nature. With a box speed of ISO 400 and excellent exposure latitude, HP5+ is ideal for low-light, handheld, or fast-paced shooting—making it a go-to choice for everything from street and documentary work to portraiture.

Slightly lower in contrast than Kodak Tri-X, HP5+ offers greater control in post-processing or printing, and can easily be pushed to ISO 800 or 1600 with excellent results. It responds well to a variety of developers and is highly recommended for newcomers looking to master one film stock—thanks to its availability, affordability, and consistent performance.
