Ilford XP-2 Super Sharp B/W Professional Film, 24 Exp

Over the years, the XP-2 Super Sharp, Fine Grain, Black and White Professional Film ISO 400, 35mm, 24 Exposures has become a go-to choice for photographers seeking high-quality, sharp, and crisp black and white prints. This film is renowned for its fine grain and fast speed, making it versatile for a wide range of photographic subjects. The XP-2 Super excels in situations with a broad subject brightness range, delivering exceptional results every time. It boasts an improved exposure latitude compared to its predecessor, the XP2, offering enhanced negative contrast for optimum black and white print quality. One of the standout features of the XP-2 Super is its ease of use. It's simple to expose and process, thanks to its compatibility with C41 type processing chemicals, typically used for color negative films. This makes the XP-2 Super a chromogenic film, where the image dyes are formed during development, rather than being pre-existing in the film or added later. The XP-2 Super's wide exposure latitude is a result of the unique relationship between exposure and grain in chromogenic films. When exposed at EI 400/27, it achieves the perfect balance of sharpness and grain. Even when down-rated or overexposed, the XP-2 Super maintains finer grain, contrary to conventional films. The XP-2 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's supplied in DX Coded cassettes, making it suitable for all 35mm cameras. The XP-2 Super roll film, coated on a 0.110mm clear acetate base with an anti-halation backing, is available in 120 lengths and is edge numbered 1 to 19. In line with international standards, the XP-2 Super roll film features a red exposed label to signify color negative processing. In summary, the XP-2 Super Sharp, Fine Grain, Black and White Professional Film ISO 400, 35mm, 24 Exposures is a top-tier choice for photographers seeking superior black and white prints with a fine grain and wide exposure latitude.
