Ilford XP2 Super 35mm film review: where black and white meets color

Ilford XP2 Super 35mm film canister on a wooden surface next to a MacBook.

Ilford’s XP series was a black and white film first introduced in 1981 – then in its first XP1 iteration. Since then there has been two more revisions to the formula before reaching the Ilford XP2 Super 400 that is still going strong to this day. 

The big selling point of XP2 Super film was that it was designed as a chromogenic film – a versatile and easy-to-use film that could be processed using the C-41 color negative film process, which is widely available at most photo labs.
