I have an F80 coming tomorrow to complement my F6 and I was thinking about what film to put in it. After looking at this photo I will definitely take a roll of Tri-X out of the fridge and go for a walk.

Hi Marcus. This shot was taken with Ilford HP5+, not Tri-X (although I’m sure Tri-X would have done it justice too).

Ah, yes. I only have Tri-X in the fridge. 🙂 HP5+ is very nice and I’ve used it in the past. Have you ever tried Fomapan? It’s very cheap and the 400 speed has lots of ‘old-fashioned’ grain, if you like that.

Yeah, Fomapan has a nice look to it. I’ve shot all three variants, and they’re all good. The production can be patchy sometimes – I often find sooty specks on the scans – but it’s not something that puts me off.
