don_wilkes Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Does anyone recall when Ilford changed the designation (and,presumably, the formulation) of FP4 to FP4+? I recently discovered an old, exposed roll (from a bulk load)accidently left in with a bag of ancient, funky film cans. It cameout very thin and fogged, even though I added 50% to the developmenttime for FP4+. It may be too thin to print conventionally, so I mayhave to have a buddy scan any interesting frames for me, and print itthat way. I have a hunch this roll may date back to the mid-70s, but won't knowfor sure until I can see a contact sheet. Most of it seemsportraiture, and I'm hoping I can identify the subjects.

jordan_w. Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I think the "plus" version came out in the very late 80s or early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_502260 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I would also be interested in knowing about this. I think I have two 100 foot rolls of FP-4 in my freezer. It was purchased as Ilford was making the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny_walsh Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Search the archives or my postings. I had the same question a few months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__stu_evans Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'd gamble on '88, but not with a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_mckeith Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Interestingly, J and C photo lists ORWO pan (FP4)- What the difference is between FP4 and FP4+, I don't know- I was mostly a Kodak user before FP4+- but I intend to find out,since I shoot a lot of FP4+ lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_wilkes Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Thanks, Vinny -- that was exactly what I needed. The final comment in that thread should settle it, coming from our friendly Ilford rep: David Carper , oct 24, 2004; 11:32 p.m. The Plus line of films were introduced right around 1990.
