Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (36 exp)

Ilford FP4 Plus 125 is a classic medium-speed black-and-white film — a fine-grain, sharp, and technically excellent stock that sits between the ultra-fine Pan F Plus 50 and the versatile HP5 Plus 400. ISO 125 gives it excellent sharpness and tonal gradation in good light, making it a favourite for portrait, landscape, and architectural work. Also made in the UK by Ilford.

GearFrame's Take

The refined, versatile middle ground of Ilford B&W — fine grain, beautiful tones, and made in Britain.

Low Light ISO 125 is too slow for dim conditions — use HP5 Plus instead.
📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
