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.

Sharp and smooth
This was my first time trying XP2 since returning to film and I was very impressed. On an overcast day perhaps there wasn't as much risk of losing detail into the shadows or highlights, but I really liked the range of tones it gave me.
Many of the other images on this roll were from inside a building that's still under construction and it seemed tolerant of my sometimes rather hasty or optimistic metering. Colleagues seemed to really like them as something distinctly different from our typical mobile phone shots.
Not the crunchy look of Tri-X, say, but for this assignment I was after detail and so I appreciated the fine grain. I don't develop my own, so the quicker and cheaper processing was definitely a bonus. I've bought two more and look forward to using them.

lovely film
the pictures scanned beautifully im really happy with the images. a bonus that because of the c41 process the negs came out a nice shade of purple looks cool in the binder
My go-to B&W - decent sharpness and grain at 35mm - just testing a 120 roll through a 1920s Kodak 6x9 - should be interesting!

Dull old day up Norfolk on XP2
Did a roll on a dull old day up Norfolk.
Tones and latitude given a bit of a tickle in post.
Can't fault it much as usual.

Such a good film!
Great film for so many situations, professional work and just for sticking in a point and shoot and having fun! Plus the C-41 developing makes a great option for places where you may not have access to B&W or it B&W developing may take too long or be to expensive!
