Want a black and white film with good colouring and contrast that has C-41 develop? Ilford FP4+ could be your solution!
Ilford FP4+ was my first ever black and white film and these shots are from my first ever roll. I know some people aren’t very keen on C-41 processed black and white images, and that’s fine by me, but i’m not going to stop using this film. With the right exposure this film does really well, good contrast and detail and great blurring and vignetting around the outer reaches of your frame. It seems to give a slightly vintage look to the photos you take as well, which i love. Why not grab a roll next time you see some and see what you can make.

FP4 Plus is NOT a C41 film!?!

Hmmm.. Is it really C-41? Cos I thought the B&W with C-41 is Kodak BW400CN?

Ummm FP4+ is definitely not a C-41 film. I can't believe this article was published.....it's completely wrong. Come on Lomography...start reading your articles before you publish them...

@falsedigital That's a bit harsh! It's a slight error which anyone could make! There are worse reviews on here, with much worse pictures - the gallery is awesome!

@nicolas_noir - I don't think what I said was too harsh at all. If this was her blog and she made the error, no big deal. But this was on the front page of the website and a published article. I think it's very unprofessional of them to publish it without reading. Not to mention, it's still posted and corrections still haven't been made.
