A friend of mine is using HP5 and he develop it with Ilford Perceptol with great results if he expose at E.I. 320 or even lower, I have to test it. I think that T-Max 400 or Ilford Delta 400 are actually much better than HP5. I?m also happy with Tri-X and D-23. I agree, this year with maked people is not a good one for is!
