Ilford P4 400 ISO Surveillance Film

David · Expire: 2013-01-25

Anyone ever shot Ilford P4 before? I read it's on a very thin base and difficult to load for developing. Other than that, the images on Flickr look great. I just bought three 150-foot spools for about $70. I should be set on 400 ISO film for the year...

The shots on flickr are looking very promising.

This film is made for traffic surveillance, right?
Maybe it's also usable for some infrared shots with red- or IR-filter?

It´s a good film for shooting in bad light as it has high spectral sensitivity in reds. It also doesn´t get too high contrast when push-processed so it´s good for shooting at ISO up to 3200 without major loss of quality. I´ve tried few rolls of it, it´s a nice film, but not for me - I mainly shoot in ISO100-400 range.
