Character & look

It lacks some of the tonal subtlety of Ilford's premium films but performs reliably and enlarges cleanly, making it a superb value for students and everyday shooters. Contrast is moderate and easy to control, and it responds predictably to standard developers. In good light it produces crisp, classic black-and-white negatives with dependable results roll after roll, which is exactly what makes it a trusted learning film.

Shooting & development tips

Develop in ID-11 or Ilfotec HC for reliable, classic results; it behaves much like Ilford's pricier films. Rate at box speed and give good light for the cleanest negatives.
