Is their any Ilford XP2 Super love out there?

[Sparrow]

Almost impossible to blow the highlights, little "grain" and a dream to scan, what's not to like? ... ah, the price, yep it's a tad expensive sadly

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Great stuff, a little expensive, but my go-to C41 B/W film after Kodak stopped selling BW400CN in 120 format. Also like it in 135 format.

My Kodak Medalist likes it too...

Anybody tried the no name C-41 BW's at Ultrafine.com?

 

[Ming The Merciless]

I use Ilford XP2 all the time and love it.

Akiv,

the xp-2 no name c-41 is XP2 but the prices has gone up quite a bit. There is a much cheaper 27 exposure c-41 B&W film, i think that is kodak.

i stopped buying from ultrafine as the quality of the expired film left a lot to be desired.

I am sorry to say but I had a similar problem. Also I never could quite get the love going on Kodak C-41 BW.

It's very sharp and has great contrast. Who else likes it (or hates it)?

I like it: Good resolution and sharpness, awesome dynamic range. Very good film for tricky light.
And exposed at 25-50 ISO, and push developed in E6 (yes, it is no typo) you even get slides....🙂 (but with a little bit color, nice, different look).
And it's from Ilford, always excellent QC.

Cheers, Jan

I shoot outdoors on sunny days at 240 ISO and 320 on cloudy days and 400 on overcast or indoors. Really no PP at all. What you see is what you get. Those shots were taken with an M3 and a Zeiss Sonnar 50/1.5.

Thanks for this thread. This is now my go-to B&W film.

Loved it - it's a forgiving film. Until I got tired of spending the money it cost for development.

+1 for XP2. It's a great film. I like using it when I'm just feeling too lazy to develop my own B&W.
