Ilford HP5 Plus 400 35mm B&W Film - 3-Pack, 24 Exp

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 is a versatile, high‑speed 35mm black-and-white film delivering fine grain, strong sharpness, and wide exposure latitude in a convenient 3-roll pack.

Designed for documentary, street, travel and available‑light photography, this ISO 400 film balances speed with fine grain to produce detailed negatives across varied lighting. Each roll offers 24 exposures and the chemistry responds well to standard and push processing, making it a flexible option whether you shoot casually or professionally. The three-roll bundle keeps you stocked for extended projects or multiple cameras.

How does HP5 Plus perform in low light and action situations?

HP5 Plus’s base sensitivity of ISO 400 gives you extra shutter speed or smaller apertures compared with slower emulsions. It also tolerates push processing, so you can rate and develop it at higher speeds for dim conditions or faster action without losing too much detail.

• Nominal ISO 400 for balanced low‑light performance and motion capture.
• Pushable to EI 3200/36° for increased sensitivity when needed.
• Fine grain structure preserves detail even when exposed in challenging lighting.

What kinds of development and processing work best with this film?

HP5 Plus is compatible with a wide variety of black‑and‑white developers and processing systems, including spiral tanks, deep tanks, and automated processors. You can follow standard development times for neutral contrast, or modify chemistry and time to adjust contrast and grain depending on the look you want.

• Works with many common developers (e.g., ID‑11/HC‑110 equivalents) for reliable results.
• Accepts push and pull processing for exposure latitude control.
• Suitable for both manual darkroom and automated lab workflows.

How will negatives from HP5 Plus scan or print?

Negatives from HP5 Plus produce strong tonal separation and good edge sharpness, making them well suited for scanning and darkroom printing alike. The film’s medium contrast and relatively fine grain yield clean digital scans and stable enlargements.

• Good tonal range for midtones and highlights in scans and prints.
• Fine grain helps retain image detail at larger sizes.
• Consistent results across varied exposures due to wide latitude.
