Ilford HP5+

An unexpected comeback and a new entry, that is the classic HP5 black and white emulsion developed in another classic, the Kodak HC-110 (dilution B).

It’s in fact the first time I buy and use this developer from the 60s, still in production, and I have to admit that its reputation is well deserved. It’s a not-cheap-at-all 1L bottle and I really hope people is right when they say it can last forever even after opening. Actually there’s another new entry that’s the camera I used here: an a-m-a-z-i-n-g Ricoh RZ-750 from 1989, bought with a glorious dust covering in a flea market in Rome for 20 bucks. As you can see I always have fun talking about everything I use for taking pictures but what about the pictures themselves?
