Time for another new film, this one Ilford HP5 Plus :-) It came in a different package than normal since it was a limited 140th anniversary edition, and I got it for THB 340, so it's a bit on the high side for B&W film :-) HP5 Plus is Analogue Wonderland's best-selling black-and-white film, and their claims are "This black and white film is perfect for low-light situations and produces deep, rich tones and excellent sharpness." Sure enough, the low light situations mostly managed to put decent pictures even without flash, so if you're shooting in lots of low light situations, it's definitely worth the splurge :-) Though given the price, I decided to run it half-frame in the Kodak H35 to get my money's worth :-)
