Ilford XP2 Super Black and White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Roll Film, 100' Roll

Because of its high-quality and professional-grade features, the XP2 Super Black and White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Roll Film, 100' Roll stands out in the world of photography. This durable and versatile film is designed to deliver sharp, fast, and fine-grain black and white images, making it a reliable choice for any photographic subject.

The XP2 Super excels in situations with a wide subject brightness range, ensuring excellent results every time. Its ease of exposure, coupled with an extremely wide exposure latitude, results in exceptionally sharp, crisp prints. The film's superior highlight and shadow handling enhance negative contrast, optimizing black and white print quality.

What sets the XP2 Super apart is its chromogenic nature. Unlike conventional films, the image dyes in XP2 Super are formed during development, resulting in an incredibly wide exposure latitude. This unique relationship between exposure and grain in chromogenic films allows for the best balance of sharpness and grain when exposed at EI 400/27.

Interestingly, down-rated or overexposed XP2 Super negatives yield finer grain, contrary to conventional films. Up-rated or underexposed XP2 Super negatives experience only a slight loss in quality. The film is designed for standard C41 processing across the entire exposure range, making it easy to process alongside color negative films.

The XP2 Super 35mm film is coated on a 0.125mm/5-mil acetate base and is available in 24 or 36 exposure cassettes, or in bulk lengths of 30.5 meters (100ft). It is supplied in DX coded cassettes, making it suitable for all 35mm cameras.

The XP2 Super roll film, coated on a 0.110mm/4-mil clear acetate base with an anti-halation backing, is available in 120 lengths and is edge numbered 1 to 19. Its speed rating of ISO 400/27 Degree (400ASA, 27DIN, EI 400/27) to daylight was measured using standard C41 processing.

The XP2 Super's wide exposure range allows for flexibility in exposure settings, providing security against inadvertent over- or underexposure. This film's versatility and reliability make it a top choice for photographers seeking superior black and white image quality.
