ILFORD HP5 PLUS 400 120 Film

Shooting at box speed gave me beautifully balanced negatives, and the medium contrast handled both bright skies and shadowy alleys without me having to fiddle with exposure. It's become my go-to for street work where I need a reliable 400 speed.

Pushed this to 1600 and the grain stayed remarkably tight for a 400-speed film. The medium contrast handled harsh midday sun better than I expected, pulling out detail in the shadows without blowing the highlights.

Shot this at box speed in overcast light and the grain stayed tight while the midtones held nice detail. The medium contrast handled a wide range of tones without needing any exposure compensation. Just what I needed for a day of candid street shots and landscapes.
