HUGE fan of this film! I started using this in 1982 with my first camera, a Pentax K1000. I just love the way prints look, especially when taken on overcast days. Even though I have gone digital, I find myself using this more and more in my old school Pentax ME Super. It makes me think. I have stocked up on this-you never know when it might be discontinued.

I just received 5 rolls of this film and already went through 3 of them. film looks great printed or scanned!
Very consistent results and fine grain.
I would rank it as good as the kodak's c-41 bw400cn film.

I love everything about this film. But note that Adorama is selling film that expires within 30 days. The film arrived and the boxes looked like they had been flattened then had film canisters stuck back in them, who knows what condition the film is in? XP2 is GREAT, but Adorama isn't making it obvious enough that they are selling almost-expired film.

This film must be processed using color chemistry. You cannot use conventional B&W chemistry!! Do not purchase if you intend to use conventional B&W chemistry as it must be processed in color chemistry only. Though, according to the Ilford website it can be printed on traditional B&W paper.

I have tried other C-41 Black and White film and they are no match for Ilford in my opinion. I hope they keep making it.

As an addendum to my earlier review, I wanted to say that I still plan to shoot with this film even after finally taking the digital plunge. Don't give up your film cameras just yet!

This film requires some practice getting used to its grayscale. Not very flattering for portraits, but really cool for landscapes. Very emotional B&W film for still life and landscapes.
