5.0 out of 5 stars Far and away the best 35mm b&w general purpose film, July 16, 2004

By A Customer

It absolutely amazes me that this film has not become what photo class teachers hand out to their wide-eyed little pupils. The depth, range, pure quality of this film is amazing. It is not a subtle difference that no one but photo fiends can see in full size print either.

People who have never even printed a picture in their lives can look at just a negative produced from this film and one produced from, say, Kodak T-Max 400 and tell you which one is more, well, expressive. I actually had a friend of mine, who was looking at one of my negative notebooks, flip past the Ilford addiction and into the old material and look at me and say (about the negatives taken with Kodak and other films) "these are all messed up." They weren't "messed up." They were just, well, blah.

This is the film of professionals, at a price less than films that a professional wouldn't take pictures of his or her cat with.

Don't take my word for it - get just one roll and try it out. You will be addicted.
