Henrik:

It's Ilford's FP4.  Great B&W film.  You can find Ilford's own tech spec sheets 
in .PDF format here:

   http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/pdf/FP4Plus.pdf

According to the specs, it can produce reasonable results even when overexposed 
as much as six stops, or underexposed by two.  

Enjoy, it's a heap of fun to use, IMNSHO.  8^>
