Ilford XP-2 Super Sharp, Fine Grain, Black and White Professional Film ISO 400, 35mm, 36 Exposures

Bring your photography to life with the XP2 SUPER, a professional-grade, sharp, and fast black and white film. This fine-grain film is versatile, suitable for a wide range of photographic subjects, and excels particularly when capturing a broad subject brightness range. The XP2 SUPER offers an improved exposure latitude compared to its predecessor, XP2, delivering exceptionally sharp, crisp prints. Its superior highlights and enhanced shadows contribute to an increased negative contrast, optimizing your black and white print quality. Ease of use is a standout feature of the XP2 SUPER. It's simple to expose and boasts an impressively wide exposure latitude. Processing is straightforward, as this black and white film utilizes C41 type processing chemicals, similar to color negative films. Printing with the XP2 SUPER is a breeze. Its negatives are printed on black and white paper, just like conventional black and white negatives. As a chromogenic film, the dyes that form the image are developed during the processing stage, rather than being pre-existing in the film or added afterward. The XP2 SUPER's wide exposure latitude is a result of the unique interplay between exposure and grain in chromogenic films. The optimal balance of sharpness and grain is achieved when the XP2 SUPER is exposed at EI 400/27. Interestingly, down-rated or overexposed XP2 SUPER negatives yield finer grain, contrary to what is typically expected with conventional films. The XP2 SUPER 35mm film is coated on a 0.125mm acetate base and is available in 24 or 36 exposure DX cassettes, or in bulk film lengths of 17 and 30.5 meters. It is supplied in DX Coded cassettes, making it compatible with all 35mm cameras. The XP2 SUPER roll film is coated on a 0.110mm clear acetate base with an anti-halation backing that clears during development. It is available in 120 lengths and is edge numbered 1 to 19. Adhering to international standards, the XP2 SUPER roll film features a red exposed label to signify color negative processing. In summary, the XP2 SUPER is a high-quality, versatile, and user-friendly black and white film that delivers consistently excellent results, making it a top choice for professional photographers and enthusiasts alike.
