Ilford XP2 Super

I use both Kodak and Ilford black and white chromogenic films. The advantage of Ilford XP2 Super compared to Kodak CN is it has grain similar to conventional black and white films. The advantages for any chromogenic film are they have very wide range of tonal values that is far superior to digital capture, and unlike conventional black and white film, they can be easily scanned. My scanned images can be easily enlarged to wall size prints.

Beautiful grain similar to convention black and white film with the connivence of being easily scanned.

This was my first time trying out this film and I am more than pleased with the results. I had never used a C41 B&W print film before. I decided to use this type of film since I didn't have darkroom access at my college over the summer. What I really like about this film is the fact that I get a whole set of prints [proofs] and I also get a negative that I can easily work with in the darkroom. My prints were nice and sharp. They had a nice contrast. Nice whites and deep blacks. Because they were C41 prints, my prints came back with a slight green tint to them... which I actually really liked. The negatives had a nice density and this film has a wide exposure latitude. VERY EASY & SIMPLE film to work with. I will definitely be shooting with this more.

VERY fine grain VERY sharp Fast Nice contrast Prints have a color tone [tone on my prints was slightly green]

Prints may come back with a color tone.

This was my first C41 B&W print film... but I am very familiar with Ilford's B&W films.

None needed.
