{"product_id":"ilford-hp5-plus-400","title":"Ilford HP5 Plus 400","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome film has to earn its reputation. HP5 Plus did this in 1976 and built it from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're heading out for the day with one roll of black and white and you're not sure what you'll find — changing light, indoors and outdoors, people and places — HP5 Plus is a safe choice. It is fast enough to shoot handheld in most conditions and the latitude is forgiving enough that you don't need to nail the exposure every time. It's a good film to learn on and a good film to come back to. That’s not to say it’s a beginner’s film only — some seasoned photographers shoot HP5 almost exclusively because it is a film that has latitude in the camera and flexibility in the darkroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has grain. It's a conventional emulsion, not a T-grain film like T-Max, so the grain has a classic, textured quality. In 35mm you'll see it. In 120 it settles down considerably. Whether that grain is a feature or a drawback depends entirely on what you're after. For a lot of photographers it's part of why they reach for this film. If you’re shooting landscapes you will see the grain in the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pushes well — up to three stops — so if you're shooting into the evening or in a dimly lit room you can keep going without changing rolls. Contrast and grain increase as you push, but it doesn't fall apart. It's also less contrasty and quite a bit cheaper than Tri-X, which makes it easier to shoot regularly without overthinking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for a black and white film you can take anywhere and trust to come back with something good, HP5 Plus should be near the top of your list.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ilford","offers":[{"title":"35mm \/ Single","offer_id":46732409012412,"sku":"I-HP5-35-1","price":23.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 \/ Single","offer_id":46732409045180,"sku":"I-HP5-120-1","price":22.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"35mm \/ Bulk 30.5m","offer_id":46894722318524,"sku":"I-HP5-35-BULK","price":279.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/8860\/6908\/files\/ilford-hp5-400-35mm-36exp.png?v=1779042471","url":"https:\/\/filmco.nz\/products\/ilford-hp5-plus-400","provider":"Nelson Film Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
