Today, May 7th 2026, @Ilfordphoto have introduced their classic Pan F Plus 50 ISO. B&W emulsion into the world of large format photography! Ilford was kind enough to send me a small test packet of this film in 4x5, so I didn't waste a single sheet. Throughout this video, you'll see the setup and analysis of every single frame as well as a few critiques on the state of the film photography industry. Whether you're a hybrid film + digital photographer or all-analogue, there's something in this review for everyone!

I’m so grateful that Ilford keeps expanding film options.
Sadly, there are no working darkrooms left where I live, so even if I owned a large format camera, I wouldn't have a place or the materials to develop the film. For now, I experience this beautiful craft through videos like yours, and they keep that passion alive. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and preserving these traditional techniques. I hope one day I'll have the chance to work with a large format camera myself.
Yay Strudel is looking well and happy
Hearing you walking through the descriptions and process was like catching up with an old friend havent seen for years, and 2 minutes in was like it was just last week.
Going to go and find you on flikr now!
