Ilford HP5 Plus 400 Black and White Film 35mm 36 Exposures 3 Pack professional camcorder

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 Film Overview

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 is a fast black and white film rated at ISO 400/27 for daylight exposure. It comes in 35mm cassettes with 36 exposures each, sold as a three-pack. The emulsion delivers fine grain, good edge contrast and sharpness for excellent image quality. It suits photographers who need reliable results across varied lighting conditions.

Processing Flexibility and Compatibility

HP5 Plus works with all current processing systems, including those using standard short fixing and washing times. No technique changes are required when switching to this film. Extended development with developers such as ILFORD ILFOTEC HC or ILFORD MICROPHEN allows meter settings up to EI 3200/36. This latitude frees the shooter to push sensitivity when light is scarce or subjects move quickly.

From Standard ISO 400 to Push-Capable Emulsion

This film replaces standard ISO 400 black and white stocks that lack push flexibility. The jump is worth it when you regularly shoot in poor light or need to freeze action at higher effective speeds. It is not for photographers who only process at box speed and never require extended development latitude.
