We're often asked what the differences are between our PLUS films and our DELTA Professional range and have given a brief reply in our post about Choosing your first ILFORD film.
If you're interested in a more detailed explanation, the read on...
HP5 PLUS
Uses our more traditional emulsion making methods.
HP5+ has evolved over many years to become an extremely flexible and robust film.
Has extremely good exposure latitude and is very tolerant of under/over exposure.

Heading West
Last September my family and I headed west. It had been a few years since we’d visited the West Country, we had come to love it when our family was young, and now that they were grown we decided to return to see if it still has a special place in our hearts.
While my teenagers packed their essentials - clothes and iPhones, and my other half packed enough books to keep a large reading group going, I set about doing the important task of packing my camera equipment.
My focus was on which...

Thank you for sharing your shots with us, this week. These are our favouritess.

Quality, consistency and value
We have always been proud of the quality, consistency and value offered by our Kentmere range of black & white films.
However, following the recent redesign of our ILFORD film packaging earlier this year we noticed that the Kentmere brand and packaging was looking a little old school (but not in a cool, retro way)!
We felt it was time for Kentmere to step out of the shadows and be recognised for the excellent films that they are and so we are pleased to show ...
Beginnings
I came to analog photography late. I enjoy being able to feel the film and create with my hands, and the suspense of not knowing how the final shots look until you develop the film. Shooting film changes the style of how I work. I take less pictures and think more. It is more immersive, I have more time to feel their characters, their experiences.
I shoot all my projects in medium format film. I do use digital, but only for commercial photography or for working on reports.

Our first #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites of 2019, so we should start by wishing all of you a happy new year! Let's hope that 2019 is filled with friends, fun and plenty of film.
We didn't set a theme for this week, and after seeing the results I think we'll do this again throughout the year. you shared a huge variety of shots with us. but we finally managed to whittle our favourites down to these five(ish).

I always say time is the most precious commodity there is. If you are doing something you love, it flies by faster than the speed of light. And if you are waiting for something, it can feel like centuries are passing by.
If only there was a way to somehow stop it in it’s tracks and enjoy every second of it.
In the beginning
I used to be a digital photographer. It was all fun and games at the beginning. And it definitely did the job.
It stopped time!
I could keep track of my memories, look back ...
On April 15th in London, and many other locations around the world, a series of protests and demonstrations took place as an act of rebellion against systems of pollution and excess, which are causing rapid changes in the climate of our planet. I was aware that this rebellion would be taking place having attended a march a few days previous. I was excited to continue shooting in this environment and did not yet realise the scope of their action to unfold, or how rewarding it would end up being photographica...
Below are some of the common errors that can occur when processing black and white films. Unfortunately some of these errors can result in the images being lost or partially ruined. By knowing what has caused the errors, you may hopefully prevent any repeat incidents.
Film entirely blank - No visible images or edge signing
A completely blank film with no images and no signing (i.e text in the perforation areas showing product and numbers) - indicates the film has received no development at all.
