Ilford's Pan F Plus is a slow-speed panchromatic black and white negative film featuring a very fine grain structure, making it ideal for large-scale printing applications. Its slow speed also renders a broad tonal range, along with high edge contrast, resolution, and detail, making it well-suited for pictorial and fine art photography. Pan F Plus has a nominal sensitivity of ISO 50/18° when developed in standard chemistry, and can also be developed to higher contrast values for technical, copy, and scientific work.

This item is one roll of 120 format roll film.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. how many roll in the box?

A: This is a special type of film called a Bulk Roll which is 100 (feet) long. Bulk Rolled film is used in conjunction with a special loading machine and reusable film canisters. This was very commonly used in the past by newspaper agencies, magazines and colleges where film is used in greater mass. A 100 roll could commonly yield 15-18 rolls of film depending on how many frames were loaded by the user into the reusable canisters. Unfortunately we no longer carry/sell the bulk loading machines that are required for use with this type of film. You would have to find that type of machine used someplace.

Q: 2. Do you have DX code Reloadable Cartridge

A: Unfortunately, B&H does not carry auto DX 400 ISO reloadable film cassettes.

Q: 3. What is the total thickness of the 70mm film? (emulsion + base). Does "layer" thickness listed in the film specs indicate total thickness? I understand that there is no backing paper on this film. The 70mm film is not listed on the Ilford website. Thanks.

A: Yes the layer thickness listed here would indicate the total thickness.

Q: 4. Is this the bricks of 10 packaging or is this really MFR # 1574616 (as the description says) which are 50 FOIL-WRAPPED films? That does make a difference to me traveling... Thanks!

A: the bricks of 10 are not foil wrapped. the film rolls are in plastic canisters.

Q: 5. Can this film be processed in a red lit dark room?

A: Yes, the Ilford HP5 Plus Black and White Negative Film (35mm Roll Film, 36 Exposures) can be developed in a darkroom lit by safelights.

Q: 6. Does this film work with dark and bright lighting?

A: This film and any other film can be exposed to bright or dim lighting. You have to know how to expose it correctly under low light conditions and know how to compensate for reciprocity failure. But, yes it can be done.

Q: 7. Is this film C-41 process film? My daughter taking photography class and she needs film that is not C-41 process film. None of the descriptions for this indicate for us novices which this is. Thanks.

A: No, this is not C-41 process film. This is true black and white film and can be processed with various photo chemical developer systems. Its a great film to learn black and white photography and processing with.

Q: 8. is this the correct film for a AGFA PD16 Viking camera with a F6.3 Lens?

A: Like John B noted 616 is no longer made. However, if you have a camera that takes 620 film, 120 can be used (just spool it onto a spare 620 spool, than back again so the frame numbers are correct - do this in a film changing bag, it's easy to do).

Q: 9. With the 70mm Roll film, it does not have backing paper, can this not be loaded in daylight / subdued light?

A: It is exactly like bulk 35mm film only twice as wide.You need either a 70mm bulkloader or a really clean changing bag to load it into the 70mm cassette. And of course you need a 70mm camera or back. The real showstopper is tracking down a development tank. If you don't know all this stuff and have the equipment already this is not for you. I would buy this if there were a smaller minimum quantity.

Q: 10. What is the expiry date for the films in the Ilford HP5+ 50-roll pack?

A: Any film that was within 6 months of its expiration date would specifically listed as short-dated on our site, and sold as such. As this is not short-dated, its expiration date will be at least 6-months out. Unfortunately, we cannot give an exact expiration date for the film. The warehouse is not located near our offices for us to physically check an item for expiration date, serial numbers, etc.
