Ilford FP4 Plus 125 is a classic fine-grain black and white 35mm film known for its exceptional sharpness, wide exposure latitude, and smooth tonal range. Rated at ISO 125, FP4 Plus is an excellent choice for daylight photography and situations where fine detail and image quality matter more than maximum film speed.
FP4 Plus produces very fine grain with excellent edge sharpness and a broad range of gray tones, making it especially well suited to portraits, landscapes, architecture, street photography, studio work, and larger prints or high-resolution scans.
Why Choose FP4 Plus?
Compared with the other black and white films we carry—including Ilford HP5 Plus 400, Ilford Delta 400, Ilford Delta 3200, Kodak Tri-X 400, and Kentmere Pan 400—FP4 Plus stands apart primarily because of its slower ISO 125 speed and exceptionally fine grain.
Where those faster films provide more flexibility in lower light, FP4 Plus is designed for situations where you have plenty of available light and want to prioritize fine detail, sharpness, smooth tonal transitions, and minimal visible grain.
If you normally shoot ISO 400 black and white film, FP4 Plus is a great option when you want a cleaner, finer-grained negative with a more refined look. It's particularly rewarding in daylight, where its slower speed is less of a limitation and its image-quality advantages can really shine.
