Lots of nuances, not true black.
The HP5 is an interesting film for dark to light grey shades. From all my tests so far (and I'm not an expert in film), it doesn't render black as black but as a very dark grey or desaturated black. If you shoot to show a lot of nuances, that's a good product. It is also definitely a bit grainy in low light at 400 ISO. I think for very heavy contrast, I'd be better off with the Ilford Delta Pro 400. I like the result I got so far with the HP5 120 though. Shooting with a Bronica S2A.

One of my favorites that I choose over much more expensive film.
One of my favorite films. I use this in a vintage camera from the 1930s and the light leaks on the film gives it a vintage feel. The grain of this film is fine enough to allow for fine detail in images but is just barely perceived when you look closely. That also goes well with the aged/vintage look of the photos I use it for. When used in my more modern cameras the film produces fine detail and clean prints in the darkroom. The contrast is not overwhelming, but nice. I can dodge and burn it to make a very moody print or reduce the contrast and just make a calm photo to relax with. It also scans well with a DSLR.

A great, inexpensive option for experimenting with photography
I wanted some inexpensive film to try out an old box camera that I found in our attic, and this turned out to be great. It is basic black and white and it performed perfectly. It is inexpensive enough to experiment with and use as a leaning tool. I would definitely buy this again.

Wonderful Film
Not pricey. Been around for years. A go to for B&W film in 120 and 35mm.

Slightly misleading advertising, as it can hold *up to* 12 exposures. With the camera I am using (an antique brownie camera), it has space for only 8. Does have the correct markings for the matching window, however. I will be getting one of the rolls developed today, and will update my review once I have them.
