Hi folks, post your photos made on HP5+ with some details about your recipe and methods. I will start the ball rolling with this photo , taken with a Nikon F100 and 28mm f2.8 Ais Nikkor, rated at Ei 200 and developed in HC-110 dilution H for 12 mins @ 20c.
It will be good to compare and share results with this versatile film stock

I like my one-man lab's results with D76 standard development, especially with medium format. The following are from a new camera (GF670) and my oldest camera (Ikonta 520/16).

I think the OP is particularly interested in EI, time and temp as well as developer dilution.

Hi Pete, I included that with my posts but not essential. Just nice to see some great work, and also find out and learn how others work.

Regards, John.
 
HP5 looks best rated at 800 and developed in HC:B or 1600 and developed in Rodinal.

These two combos are extraordinary.

Sounds very promising to me. I hope it comes with grain and contrast.
I have both developers. And HP5 seems to be only one 400 in bulks I have money and interest as 400 film.

Just not sure if 1600 is any good for real low light...

I started shooting film in 2007 with HP5, because there is a dealer in Istanbul, quickly because of cost, i began developing my own film and scanning it. While I've shot some Delta 100, Pan 50, Delta 400, Delta 3200, and a handful of Kodak B&W, I predominantly shoot HP5, E! 400, developed with DD-X 1+4, 9 min. @ 20c, Ilford Rapidfix 1+4 5 min. I seldom shoot digital, and prefer to use Ilford products because of availability and Ilford's commitment to film.

Here are a few, HP5, E! 400, developed with DD-X 1+4, 9 min. @ 20c

Nikon F100 - with an 85mm f1.4. Probably shot at 1.4 as I remember I was thinking I was really pushing the envelope trying to get any decent reading at all. And not thinking anything would show up -- a bit of motion blur on her face. Developed with D76.
