That's quite a push (2 stops) for FP4+ Was there a specific reason why you did this? Thanks
 
@pentaxuser That's a good question, my intention was to shoot some low light in the evening, I got to Spitalfields quite early and took the picture not realising I had already set my ISO on camera.
I often push FP4 +1 to give me a bit flexibility, it is a very forgiving film, in fact its probably one of my favourites for 35mm and MF.
 
Thanks Brian. I'll make a note of this. It gives me hope that FP4+ may be more suitable for a larger part of the year in the U.K. than I had thought . My fall-back film has always been HP5+for speed
 
@pentaxuser Its a pleasure, ID11 & Xtol are my preferred developers, you can go too 1000 with Xtol but never tried it.
Whilst I use both, personally I think FP4 is better than HP5 but thats my opinion.
Good luck !
 
Yes FP4+ is certainly likely to be less grainy and its range of tones is said to be excellent. If shadow details do not suffer appreciably and given that I seldom use HP5+ above box speed then there would appear to be a case for trying FP4+

Thanks again
