Ilford XP2 is a fascinating film! It delivers B&W negatives but requires colour development to get there. This is because it is a chromogenic film. This means that the dyes which make up the image are formed during development rather than being present in the film or added later.

This gives it a very wide exposure latitude. The ability to shoot at different speeds on the same roll (from ISO 50-800) and develop as standard is also a huge plus point with our mixed weather in the UK!

The best balance of sharpness and grain is obtained when XP2 SUPER is exposed at EI 400/27. It is worth noting that overexposed XP2 SUPER negatives have finer grain but are less sharp, which is the opposite of that expected and obtained with conventional films. Underexposed imaged will conversely have larger grain but will show up as much more sharp.
