A dr5 staple
film. Standard grain film.
Under dr5 this film produces a VERY sharp image. FP4 is the film most SCALA users turn to and some might prefer this film to SCALA with its portrait #2-grade qualities and easier scanning. It has superb highlight and shadow detail qualities.
In developer 1-neutral, FP4 produces one of the best 'neutral' images, an ILFORD-paper neutral-cool quality. In developer 2-sepia, FP4 is light to medium brown in color. DMAX for FP4 is around 3.40 on average for fresh film, with a slightly compressed contrast. FP4 is a traditional emulsion.
FP4 is one of the films we use for shooting interpositive copies of old negatives as well as shooting internegatives from photographic prints. Like HP5 it is one of the most consistent films produced.
