About this film

Ilford HP5 Plus Football Collector’s Edition 135/36 is black-and-white film rated at ISO 400 in 135 format with 36 exposures.

Image character

Classic visible grain, wide latitude and flexible tonality make HP5 Plus one of the most adaptable B&W films.

Best uses

Street, documentary, portrait, travel, concerts and an everyday camera.

Practical advice

Box-speed ISO 400 adapts well to push processing at 800–3200; always mark the actual EI. The collectible football packaging does not change the emulsion.

Processing: standard B&W processing. I recommend labelling the actual EI and any push/pull or scanning requests before handing the film to a lab.
