Ilford Pan F Plus - 35mm Film

Lovely film.

Sharp, fine grained with lovely tones. Contrast can be quite high, but can be handled.

Super sharp but needs care

This was my first roll of Pan F and perhaps I should have heeded the warnings about contrast a bit better! The low ISO tempted me into taking it out in bright sun, but in some high contrast scenes I should have thought more carefully about where and how to meter to avoid losing detail in the highlights. Some came out more like pen & ink drawings, which is not necessarily a failure, of course. Where I did judge it better, the detail was fantastic for 35mm, and lovely deep blacks were certainly available. I'll try it again sometime but with more thought on what I'm trying to achieve.

Needs Light!

This film needs lots of light, but rewards you with good enlargement capabilities.
