Ilford HP5 Plus 400 8x10in Film

This ISO 400 black and white professional film comes in 25 sheets of 8 x 10 inch format. It suits photographers who need fine grain, sharp edge contrast and a full tonal range for high-quality prints. The emulsion handles a wide variety of lighting conditions from general purpose to action photography. It is not for photographers who require colour images or smaller sheet sizes.

Loading and processing considerations

The film works with all current processing systems including those using standard short fixing and washing times. Its robust nature tolerates less-than-ideal processing conditions while still delivering excellent results. Extended development with developers such as ILFORD ILFOTEC HC or ILFORD MICROPHEN allows exposure index settings up to EI 3200/36. Users who cannot access compatible chemistry or a large-format darkroom will not be able to process this film.

Large-format sheet film constraints

The 8 x 10 inch sheet size requires a compatible view camera or large-format system and corresponding film holders. Each box provides 25 exposures with no option for mid-roll changes or motorised advance. The ISO 400/27 speed rating is fixed for standard development; pushing beyond EI 3200/36 is not supported by the manufacturer data. Photographers needing higher native speeds, roll-film convenience or instant feedback should choose a different medium.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the Ilford HP5 Plus 400 film is exposing correctly after developing my first sheets?

Develop a test sheet at ISO 400/27 and check for fine grain, sharp edge contrast and a full tonal range from deep blacks to bright highlights; if shadows are thin, rate the film at a lower exposure index and adjust development time accordingly.

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The box contains 25 sheets of 8 x 10 inch ISO 400 black-and-white film; you must supply a large-format film holder, a compatible developer such as ILFORD ILFOTEC HC or ILFORD MICROPHEN, stop bath, fixer and a darkroom or changing bag for loading.

Should I choose the 25-sheet box or a different quantity for my 8x10 camera?

The 25-sheet box (item 1629228) is the only quantity listed for this 8 x 10 inch format; buy it if you need a moderate supply for testing and regular shooting, or order multiple boxes for larger projects.
