HP5 is one of the oldest running film stocks and has a very classic look.  It has beautiful subtle tones and medium contrast that produces great detail in the shadows.  It has incredible exposure latitude and pushes very well. Buy this film online – 35mm | 120 Rolls

Honestly, not much to say that hasn’t been said already. This film is incredibly reliable and shoots well in most situations. Give it a try if you haven’t already.

I brought my film camera on a trip Las Vegas, and very quickly shot all the film I brought! I looked in all the convenience stores and drug stores for some more, but they don’t sell film anymore… So I made a trip to the Leica store, hoping they of all people would have film, and sure enough they had some black and white film, like Ilford HP5! The film is grainy at times, and looked best when there was natural direct sunlight to create highlights and strong tones. Would recommend for both new and experienced photographers!
