Ilford HP5+ is one of the most notable black and white films in the history of photography, and that is not an exaggeration. It predates Kodak Tri-X by almost a decade. It has been on the market for close to a century in one version or another. It can be found in a variety of film formats to match nearly any film camera out there. It has a native speed of ISO 400 making it perfect for most lighting conditions. It has a classic grain, perfectly moderate contrast and excellent latitude. If you have never tried a roll, you should do so at your earliest convenience. It is the kind of film that you can spend the rest of your life invested in.
In regard to sheet film specifically, HP5 Plus is commonly found in 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10. Additionally, a vast number of other sheet film sizes ranging from 2.25x3.25 inches all the way up to 20x24 inches may be ordered and purchased through Ilford's annual ULF program.
