Versatile and convenient, ILFORD XP2 Super 400 is a high-speed black and white chromogenic film that can be processed in C41 chemicals. It is the best choice for photographers who want to shoot black and white film yet want the convenience of being able to get it processed alongside color negative films.

With a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27°, ILFORD XP2 can be under- or overexposed in order to adjust contrast as well as the balance of grain and sharpness. When rated at ISO 400, the most neutral balance between a fine grain structure and high sharpness will be afforded. Its wide exposure latitude can also be used to better control highlight and shadow values, as well as an expansive range of middle tones. Additionally, XP2 Super is designed for printing on traditional black and white papers, with Multigrade contrast filters, as well as on RA-4 color papers with maintained print color neutrality.

Storage and handling: Load and unload film in subdued light. Store unexposed film in a refrigerator at 13°C (55°F) or lower in the original sealed package. To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room temperature before opening the package. Process film as soon as possible after exposure. Protect processed film from strong light, and store it in a cool, dry place.

Michael C. ★★★★★

The C41 processing is what sold me—I can drop it off anywhere that does color film, no need to hunt down a specialty lab. It’s got a nice, fine grain for a 400-speed stock, and the negatives scan clean with plenty of tonal range.

Amelia ★★★★★

I’ve shot a bunch of different B&W stocks over the years, but being able to drop this into standard C41 chemistry means I can get it developed anywhere without waiting days. The 400 speed handles late afternoon light beautifully, and the grain stays surprisingly tight for a high-speed film. Definite

Harper ★★★★★

Finally a black and white film I can drop off at any lab without special processing requests—the C41 compatibility saves me so much hassle. Shots at 400 speed have that nice classic grain, but the negatives scan cleanly with no nasty curl.
