XP2 Super Mixed Format Group Pack shotILFORD XP2 SUPER is an ISO 400/27º sharp, fine grain, black and white professional film for excellent print quality and C41 processing convenience.

ILFORD XP2 Super is a C41 process Black and White film that works in a similar way to Kodak BW400CN. XP2 Super film produces extremely sharp crisp images with super-fine grain characteristics. The very wide exposure latitude makes it easy to expose even under challenging conditions. XP2 SUPER can be used as EI 50 – 800 ASA with no adjustment to the process, making it an extremely versatile film. Because XP2 Super is a dye based negative image it is ideally suited to scanning applications and fully compatible with digital ICE technologies.
