After seeing those lovely prints you brought along to the meet it encouraged me to have some of mine printed .
Only after expert scanning tuition by Bob.

Sorry for the crappy tonality... This is HP5+ at box speed in Xtol. I can't get the hang of this film - the negs always come out murky and flat. I've tried DDX, D76 and Rodinal in addition to Xtol, to no avail. This was my last roll of HP5+, from now on I'll stick to good old TriX...

I shot HP5 when I started back into photography a few years back.
It was the last type of BW film that I used in the `70s.
It certainly has a different look.
I switched to XP2 but have just bought some HP5 again.
I`m having fun with the prints but taking the easy way out...getting them printed by Ilford :)
Even bought some of those smart Silverprint boxes.

A nice little vignette Vincent. Got any more. :)

Is the murkyness due to the density of the emulsion? I had trouble with that when scanning in the past.
 
Some XP2 from the last outing. All with M3 and 50 Summicron.
