The quays of the Seine are a romantic place and even under cold, loving couples are not uncommon :D:) .

You recognize this cathedral , isn't ?

Ilford HP5 (400 Isos)

Leica M7

Summilux 35 Asph

 

Ilford HP5 film (400 Isos) is still different from Kodak TX400, the grains are more present but there is less

black intensity.

I usually use the TX400 and I am currently testing the HP5

At the limit I prefer the Ilford is more subtle and finer grains. Allen (Tooka) is right !

Are you agree with me ?

The Summilux 35 gives a slight wide angle effect on the M7, which is not unpleasant, unless the 28mm :)

 

Thanks for looking and comments

Henry,

 

Thanks for the nice views of Paris, I should spend more time there... And, yes, you may be taken up on the offer ..

I find all those films have their advantages and disadvantages:

 

TriX is a great allrounder, well balanced,

HP 5 has wonderful greys - and Grain,

TMax400 is smooth and creamy.

If you think too much about it you will notice you always have the wrong film in the camera ;)

 

Best regards

Christoph thank you for your opinion :)

I also noticed another important thing to me, taking the same precautions during development (revelation step) , I have less "loss" grains compared to Kodak TX. The Ilford has practically no problem.

It's true, Ilford has really "fine" grain and beautiful "gray scale"

I like the fine grain of Ilford HP5 , on the "stone" of Notre Dame de Paris cathedral

and its beautiful gray scale, better than on my M8 !

 

...cathedral , bridge and the famous romantic "bateau mouche" :)

.. another picture continued

 

I brought my 2 digital M (as back up),but finally I did not use them, because I prefer to photograph , in the manner of H-C Bresson :)

(but not for my photos that are not comparable with hers) !

 

Nostalgia , nostalgia you hold us

Like Kodak TX400, Ilford HP5 is also a great film !

Fine structure of bridge stone well reproduced in fine grain and "soft" lines !

 

Thanks for looking

Looking back at photos I took in St Antonin Noble Val in 2011, I have to agree. M7, C-Sonnar 50mm, HP5+, Ilfosol 3. When my stocks of Tri-X and Neopan 400 are used up, I just might consider going back to HP5+.

Very nice Keith

 

I discover this film (through Tooka) and he is right !

Also a beautiful film very "subtle" !

Thanks for posting Keith
