I have some LF lenses with ACTUAL FL hand written on barrel which varies by sample Obviously done on optical bench as somebody thought it important

HP-5 . . . Long live Ilford.

Thank you all for your comments. They have provided me with a number of good points to consider. While I still have more research to do, since I am...

My preference is for Ilford HP-5+ in most cases, sometimes FP-4+ from Badger Graphic. Also Ilford Ortho Plus 80 when I can find it. I keep a...
