About this film

Ilford XP2 Super 400 120 is black-and-white film rated at ISO 400 in 120 format with 12 exposures.

Image character

Fine grain, wide exposure latitude and well-defined highlights combine with the convenience of standard C-41 processing.

Best uses

Travel, street, weddings and mixed conditions where B&W film with easy lab processing is useful.

Practical advice

Frames on one roll can be rated roughly from EI 50 to 800 and processed normally; more generous exposure usually gives the finest grain.

Processing: standard C-41. I recommend labelling the actual EI and any push/pull or scanning requests before handing the film to a lab.
