Hi folks, post your photos made on HP5+ with some details about your recipe and methods. I will start the ball rolling with this photo , taken with a Nikon F100 and 28mm f2.8 Ais Nikkor, rated at Ei 200 and developed in HC-110 dilution H for 12 mins @ 20c.
It will be good to compare and share results with this versatile film stock

I like my one-man lab's results with D76 standard development, especially with medium format. The following are from a new camera (GF670) and my oldest camera (Ikonta 520/16).

I think the OP is particularly interested in EI, time and temp as well as developer dilution.

HP5 looks best rated at 800 and developed in HC:B or 1600 and developed in Rodinal.

These two combos are extraordinary.

Sounds very promising to me. I hope it comes with grain and contrast.
I have both developers. And HP5 seems to be only one 400 in bulks I have money and interest as 400 film.

Just not sure if 1600 is any good for real low light...

I started shooting film in 2007 with HP5, because there is a dealer in Istanbul, quickly because of cost, i began developing my own film and scanning it. While I've shot some Delta 100, Pan 50, Delta 400, Delta 3200, and a handful of Kodak B&W, I predominantly shoot HP5, E! 400, developed with DD-X 1+4, 9 min. @ 20c, Ilford Rapidfix 1+4 5 min. I seldom shoot digital, and prefer to use Ilford products because of availability and Ilford's commitment to film.

Here are a few, HP5, E! 400, developed with DD-X 1+4, 9 min. @ 20c

Nikon F100 - with an 85mm f1.4. Probably shot at 1.4 as I remember I was thinking I was really pushing the envelope trying to get any decent reading at all. And not thinking anything would show up -- a bit of motion blur on her face. Developed with D76.
