Great B+W film!
Fantastic film. Great resolution and grain. High contrast. And C-41 process. Perfect B+W film in my opinion.

Ilford XP2 is great film!
XP-2 is an underrated black and white film that is a great value. It is sharp with good exposure latitude and can be processed in color or B&W chemicals. Either way it is excellent at an excellent price!

Ilford XP2: the cannot be overrated B&W film
Ilford XP2 is a fabulous B&W film which can be processed like color film at your local processor, or in B&W chemicals at home or in the lab. Either was it looks great with sharpness and good latitude: blacks are black, whites are not blown out and there is plenty of shadow detail. The price is right, also!

Great for flatbed scanning
Maybe because of the emulsion thickness, this works wonders with Epson flatbeds. It's easy to see the gain in sharpness compared to an HP5.

Black and White C41, yes please
Shoots well at box speed and over, develops easy as any other color film.

Bw type film with all the advantages of color negs.
Easy and cheaper processing. And scans well since digital ice works with this film to cut down on dust issues.

One of my favorite b/w films!
This is a beautiful film - someone wrote it is a "days of summer"- film, and I couldn't agree more. It likes light but gives wonderfully sharp results without being overly hard - in good light I always get great results. Definitely recommended, you won't be disappointed.

One of my favorite b/w films
Wonderful black and white film, sharp, contrasty without being overly so (compared to Delta), great film for sunny days. Very low grain even though it is ISO 400. Like most films, doesn’t handle underexposure too well, but apart from that, beautiful results. Definitely can’t go wrong with this film.

How I avoid developing my own BW film these days
Because we have a local inexpensive lab that runs the right color chemistry for this film, and develops every day, I decided to experiment with XP2 in various vintage toy plastic cameras, and found that, with a goodly amount of exposure it could indeed sometimes exhibit some of the magical silvery qualities of standard BW film in these quirky cameras. (My darkroom needs a good cleaning before I'll be developing a traditional BW film there.) I used Vuescan to obtain digital files to adjust, and plan to make digital negs for later GSP's. This is affordable, easy, quick and fun.

Best film ever
Great quality film in pixels and in ease. It does not get rigid when loading. It works great with d76 Kodak developer. Best photos I've had in a while. Great to print on 16x20

A quality B&W neg film with easily available lab processing
Ilford makes a lot of high quality black and white silver negative films. I have and still do use them, however, for those who lack a home darkroom for developing will find fewer and fewer choices for commercial processing. This is where XP2 comes in. It will give you an actual black and white negative for scannng or printing, and cab be processed by any lab offering C41 processing for color negative film.

Good for people that may have a favorite film camera but want their work digitally post-processed & printed.
When we travel to Europe, I carry XP-2 & have it processed in-country. My advice for this film is to expose it @ EI 200 for sunny days; ISO 400 for overcast conditions and ask for normal processing. I carry processed negatives through security without the fear of x-rays ruining my unexposed film. When back home, I can scan negatives to be adjusted in P/Shop & uploaded to the 'net, or print negatives in my d/room. A versatile film. Good for people that may have a favorite film camera but want their work digitally post-processed & printed. It can be home developed using a C-41 kit, or can be commercially processed.

This is a great way to experience film, if you've never tried it before
This is a great way to experience film, if you've never tried it before (and let's face it, there are a lot of those folks these days).
It provides a fairly tight grain structure and good depth. I find it especially complementary in urban/street photography or in other situations involving subjects with lots of texture. Maybe not as useful if you like landscape with large expanses of sky, where the grain may intrude (although I'm heading out tomorrow to do just that).
And when you're done, your local drug store can process it C-41 and probably scan it relatively cheaply too.

Best B and W film ever!
I used this film in my Kodak vest pocket. After a day of shooting I new this was the film for me. Its so forgiving. It seems to take the best photos no matter what. I wouyld recomend this to any black and white photographer as its avalable in 120 and 135. Great film.

I like the film's contrast, sharpness, latitude and tonality.
I bought this film for shooting black and white photos with my Diana F+ camera. I like it because it is processed using C-41 chemistry. So it can be processed anywhere they process color negative film. I like the film's contrast, sharpness, latitude and tonality.

I like this film.
I am impressed with this film. I am shooting this with an EOS A2 and 24 - 105mm f/4L lens. I am using it for portrait work primarily at this time. I am getting the results I want. Also, being C41, if I run out of time, I can take it to the drup store for developing. By the way, the film expiration date on my film is Dec. 2013.
