Review: Great for a Holga - If you’re new to film photography you’ve probably heard of or remember names like Kodak, Canon, Polaroid, and so on. But who is Ilford? And how does their Ilford HP5 Plus film stack up? Ilford isn’t a newbie in the world of film. They’ve been around since 1879 – pretty much the dawn of photography! They’re based in England. They used to even make cameras, too. They’ve got a number of lines of film in both 35mm and 120 format. I, of course, use the 120 format for my Holga camera. I like the Ilford HP5 Plus, which is black and white, for its price and good quality. This competes with the Kodak Tri-X 400 film. 120 format film, for those who are new to film photography, is 60mm high. It is NOT the same as 35mm film :). It’s taller. It won’t fit in a 35mm camera – it’s made for 120-format cameras. A roll of 120 format film generally fits 12-16 images per film roll depending on whether you shoot square or tall-rectangular. This film itself is marked as ILFORD HP5 PLUS and 4205 at the bottom. I took a rough image of a roll against my monitor to show this. I’m not sure what the 4205 stands for – I have written them to ask! It also has the exposure marks along the top but again this would depend if you’re choosing to shoot square or tall-rectangular images on it. The overlaps were my choice, based on how I wound the film. I’ve used the film in a number of situations and always love it. For example, here’s an image I took on a cruise to Cozumel on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Brilliance of the Seas. It’s the right-most image in the above image of the raw film. We were docked next to another ship here. I love how the slight overlaps on the left and right frame the balconies, and how they all have the same tables and chairs but in varying configurations. Then the white of the ship below adds another frame. Again, to clarify, the overlaps came from me. I chose to overlap my images. I love the gentle softness that I get with the Ilford HP-5 Plus. It’s just the right level of contrast. My Holga always gives images a moody feel to them and the Ilford plays right along with that. Well recommended. Review: Great film for an awesome price - This black and white film is awesome. I've had such great results with it that I keep ordering more! Honestly the value for the money is outstanding. I'd recommend it to anyone shooting film, especially those who are budget conscious! ## Features - The Package Length of the Product is 3.0 centimeters - The Package Width of the Product is 3.0 centimeters - The Package Height of the Product is 7.8 centimeters - Country of Origin: UNITED KINGDOM ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005MEAI | | Best Sellers Rank | #175,895 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #585 in Photographic Film | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (734) | | Date First Available | June 27, 2017 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.04 ounces | | Item model number | 1629017 | | Manufacturer | Ilford | | Product Dimensions | 1.38 x 1.38 x 3 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ilford - **Exposures per Roll:** 120 - **Film Color:** black-and-white - **Film Format Type:** 120 - **Model Name:** HP5 Plus ## Images ![Ilford HP5 Plus Black and White Negative Film ISO 400 (120 Roll Film) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Pc7JZfwVS.jpg) ![Ilford HP5 Plus Black and White Negative Film ISO 400 (120 Roll Film) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UI6xwqkPL.jpg) ![Ilford HP5 Plus Black and White Negative Film ISO 400 (120 Roll Film) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VBGCqMDDL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I use this with a holga 120 camera** A: Yes, this is a great stock for the Holga 120 **Q: Where is the best place to have this developed?** A: I'm not sure where you live but I use Dwaynesphoto.com or thedarkroom.com. You can ship to both and they do great work. Dwaynes is less pricey though. **Q: Can it be used in a Brownie Hawkeye box camera?** A: Hi Charlotte!It is possible to use 120 film versus the stock 620 it was originally intended for. However there is a catch to doing so. The catch is that you would take a nail file or sander to take of the little nibbed edges from the spool of the 120 film in order to do so. So it may take a little doing and prep to do so. **Q: Does this film work in a Makina 67 ?** A: I've never owned this camera but 120 film should work. If you're really worried about it - get an old strip of negatives and carefully test to see if they fit. Good luck, Ilford is great filn. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a Holga *by L***A on March 5, 2015* If you’re new to film photography you’ve probably heard of or remember names like Kodak, Canon, Polaroid, and so on.

Honestly the value for the money is outstanding. I'd recommend it to anyone shooting film, especially those who are budget conscious! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this film *by M***N on January 5, 2015* I love this film. Ive used this in a 1929 Kodak Pocket folding camera, and a 1958 Yashica Yashicamat TLR. Attached are a couple of samples that I took with the Yashicamat. Even though this is a 400 speed film, the grain is not very noticeable. It is extremely flexible in terms of exposure. If you are shooting outdoors, you dont need to worry about using an exposure meter with this camera, just use the "Sunny 16" rule. With this film, set your shutter speed as close to 1/400 sec as possible (most cameras dont have a 1/400 speed so 1/250 is fine). In bright sunlight with harsh shadows, set your aperture to f/16 and you will be properly exposed. If you are outdoors with hazy sun with soft shadows, set it to f/11. If the sky is overcast/cloudy, set it to f/8. If there are heavy clouds, rain, or in total shade, use f/5.6 and your pictures will always come out nice! ## Frequently Bought Together - Ilford Photo 1629017 HP-5 Plus 400 Fast Black and White Professional Film, ISO 400, 120 Size (Brown) - Ilford Photo FP4+ 120, Brown (1678169) - Ilford Photo DP100, 120 Black and White Film (1743399) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1161273-ilford-hp5-plus-black-and-white-negative-film-iso-400](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1161273-ilford-hp5-plus-black-and-white-negative-film-iso-400) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
