Ilford FP4 Plus 35mm Film - 17m spool

Ilford FP4 Plus has a nominal ISO speed of 125.

While its ISO 125 makes it best suited for good lighting, it can be 'pushed' during development for use in lower light, though this may increase grain.

It is compatible with most black and white film developers, but fine-grain developers are recommended to maximize its inherent fine-grain characteristics.

Yes, its fine grain and high sharpness make it exceptionally well-suited for making large, detailed prints.

When stored properly (cool, dry conditions), unexposed film typically has a good shelf life, often extending beyond the 'DX' date. However, it's best to use it within a reasonable timeframe for optimal results.

FP4 Plus is a medium-speed film (ISO 125) with finer grain and higher sharpness. HP5 Plus is a faster film (ISO 400) with coarser grain but better performance in lower light and when pushed.

Ilford FP4 Plus is a black and white film.

Ensure you are using an appropriate fine-grain developer and following the recommended developing times and temperatures. Pushing the film too aggressively can also increase grain.

Check that the film was loaded and unloaded in complete darkness. Inspect the camera's light seals for any damage that might allow light to leak in.

Ensure proper agitation during development. Check that the developer is fresh and at the correct temperature. Verify that the film reel is loaded correctly and there are no overlaps.

Verify that your camera's focus is accurate. Use a tripod to ensure camera stability, especially in lower light. Ensure the film is properly developed and fixed.
