Black and white 35mm film is the classic combination for street, documentary and fine art photography, small and light enough to carry everywhere, and simple to develop at home without a colour darkroom.

Ilford HP5 Plus and Kodak Tri-X 400 are the enduring standards, fast, forgiving and well suited to street and documentary work. For finer grain, Ilford FP4 Plus and the Delta and T-Max ranges offer a more modern look, while budget options like Kentmere and Fomapan make it affordable to shoot in volume.
Chromogenic film such as Ilford XP2 Super processes in standard colour C-41 chemistry, useful if you want a black and white look without needing dedicated black and white developing.
35mm's low cost per roll and easy availability make it the easiest way into home developing, a changing bag, a development tank and basic chemistry is all it takes to process a roll of black and white 35mm film yourself. Filmproof tracks live black and white 35mm film prices across UK retailers.
