Ilford was founded in 1879 in the English town of the same name. They are B&W royalty in the photography industry thanks to their 140-year heritage and their support for photographers with chemicals and development as well as film. In the mid-20th Century they produced several well-regarded camera lines (including one given to Princess Elizabeth that was later stolen!) but today they are focused on producing the best films and development processes that they can.

I haven't used too much black & white film lately but this has made me want to experiment more and more. The contrast is superb but also gives an etheral feel when pushed. Definitely give my photos a different kind of feel. Very versatile, can make any picture look amazing.
Definitely a film I will continue to use

Great all rounder, superb latitude, buy it.
A c41 black and white film is super useful when having things developed as its just cheaper, so that alone is a good reason to but xp2. My favourite thing about it though is the latitude, almost every photo I've ever taken on xp2 has been well exposed, or at least exposed how I wanted it to be. You can shoot it at any iso between 200 and 800 on the same roll and get good shots. You could probably take it further but I haven't tried that yet. The grain is also pretty fine for a 400 speed film, I love it and need to shoot more.

Do I love it?
XP2 has a major upside- it can be developed in colour chemistry alongside your colour film. I find it a little difficult to work with in darkroom printing though.
