storybrown Posted August 11, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2009 Looks like you're allowed. I'm an Ilford user, tho in the US. What is your experience with this outfit? I presume it's good or you wouldn't have posted a link . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpattison Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted August 11, 2009 I've never tried it, I just thought it looked useful! I'm bookmarking the site for future use, as I have enough film and chemicals, but I always shoot Ilford B&W. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmdco Posted August 12, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 12, 2009 Thank you John for this information, but the products seem expensive.

Harman Express: £ 49.49 HERE Mathersoflancashire: £ 37.00 HERE ag-photographic.co.uk: 37.95 HERE (they are very friendly and asked Matthew Wells) Morco: £ 38.17 HERE I did not compare the other Ilford products The good addresses cannot be lost, they must be exchanged.

Mike Gibson Posted September 16, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello all, I'm a reader usually rather than a poster, so excuse my first time contribution. I regularly speak to Harman Technology who manufacture Ilford products, so I asked them about.the website www.harmanexpress.com. It is the genuine article, a website where you can purchase direct from the manufacturer, Ilford themselves. So, in theory, the prices should be very competitive. They also don't seem to charge for postage so when you compare the basket price it should be better. I've not purchased from it yet. They also said this is dipping a toe in the water and they hope to do more promotion in future. The site I have used, that Harman also do, is www.ilfordlab.com. I've used it for processing on to silver gelatin prints. Expensive but very, very nice. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguewave Posted September 30, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 30, 2009 Question to all the Ilford fanatics. HP5 Plus. My son is in a photography studio segment of his studies and they want him to shoot with this 35mm film. He has souped his rolls very well: all the frames have great detail and exposures seem dead on (the R4 I bought him & the 50 & 90 cron really draw fine images). He's starting the segment on printing and to me this film seems to produce very flat, but highly detailed negs. Since I never use this film, I'm ignorant. Does this seem to be the nature of the film? Also, they "bake" the negs for drying. Do folks use a lot of filters when they print or on camera ? Any info would be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmes Posted September 30, 2009 Share #13 Posted September 30, 2009 Most any of the real, major, camera stores will have Ilford here in the states. I will not name anybody but you can find hem on the East, West and Gulf, plus the middle west. One of their more interesting offerings can be processed C-41, like color negatives.

roguewave Posted September 30, 2009 Share #16 Posted September 30, 2009 ...Ben, I just re-read your post - did you mean to say "this film seems to produce very flat, but highly detailed prints"? Thanks, he's in the darkroom tonight. I scanned some of the negs last evening. As was the case with the films I shot last year, the negs do render rather flat, but very detailed frames. After the scans, I could manipulate almost any deatil in PS. I wonder what the instructor will suggest for getting more contrast AND detail from these negs. I will suggest he try a roll or 2 without the "baking". Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted October 1, 2009 Share #17 Posted October 1, 2009 Ben, Can you post one of your son's negs - straight scan without tweaking? My standard B&W filmstock is HP5 - tried Tri-X (but found Tri-X negs quite thin). Printing HP5 is usually straightforward on multigrade.

batmobile Posted October 1, 2009 Share #18 Posted October 1, 2009 Ben, Can you post one of your son's negs - straight scan without tweaking? My standard B&W filmstock is HP5 - tried Tri-X (but found Tri-X negs quite thin). Printing HP5 is usually straightforward on multigrade. Charlie TriX negs are not inherently thin, but they sure are at the Kodak times and speeds recommended. Dunno whether it is the water, my agitation or what, but I need to downrate triX and develop it for about 25% more than Kodak times to get good negs for my colour head. FWIW I found HP5+ an amazing film for some uses, particularly in very high contrast conditions as it holds an amazing tonal range with a slight pull. However, for flat light, it is not my choice. In flat light I would recommend anyone using it and finding it flat to try rating it at 800 and pushing it. You might find yourself with better blacks and a longer range. Its a film I find gives a huge range of greys in UK weather... but only greys! however, I used a bunch last year shooting into the light on water in India and the results were spectacularly good. Developed in DDX or xtol 1+2 and rated at 320 it held an amazing range of tones and delivered some of the easiest to print negs I have had in a long time.

jmdco Posted October 1, 2009 Share #19 Posted October 1, 2009 Hello Ben, HP5 flat? Very strange! the HP5, 200 to 3200 ASA in Microphen solution 1+ 1. Is a jeep. Beautiful gray-scale, low lights are deep and detailed, the highlights are detailed and nuanced. Everything is in the film developer, temperature, agitation and water quality. What is your son uses?
