Ilford XP2 Super is a fine way to shoot black and white in 35mm cameras if you want the ease of the accessible and convenient C41 process:
Come to us for best processing of this lovely film….see our developing services HERE!
We find this black and white film especially good for compact cameras where it’s super sharp, fast, fine grain properties work wonderfully.
It can be used for any photographic subject, but ensures excellent results.
Great when there is a wide subject brightness range having excellent highlights and improved shadows allowing for lovely negative contrast for optimum black and white photographs.

A fast B&W film that produces sharp results with a fine grain, well defined highlights and clean shadows. XP2 is a versatile film with a wide exposure latitude which is well suited to a variety of lighting conditions. Processed using C41 chemistry this film produces negatives with excellent contrast which are very well suited to both scanning and print enlargement.

I love XP2 , its ability to shoot variable iso on the same roll of film is superb and its damn good at it too. Being a colour C-41 chemistry it is easy to get done locally but I recommend specialist processing houses that do a better job than your average lab. Its very fine grained for a 400 and produces nice negatives – great fun to print in the darkroom too

If you want the ultimate flexibility and range from a film, then this has to be the one. It has great latitude and returns sharp and crisp pictures.
I remember it’s launch back in 1981 and it’s as good today as is was then, and the flexibility of either a C41 or standard B&W Dev is really handy too.
