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.

XP2: Bucket loads of tone and contrast on the beach
Activists heading home from a clean up on one of my local beaches shot on XP2.
Just a grab metered off the beach, so pleased how it captured bucket loads of tone and contrast.
I didn't really tweak this apart from straighten it up as the sea was a bit on the huh.

Oh we do like XP beside the seaside #2
They like a bit of the old Tai Chi up Norfolk.
Not too bad with a few moves thrown in post. I don't know if there's a Tai Chi thing for contrast and dynamic range - there again, it's a martial art which pre-dates photography by several centuries.
Confuscious say nice bit of the old tone and contrast.

Nice B+White film - cheaper to process in the lab as well
This is a good quality film that is processed with C-41 chemicals, meaning it is cheaper than other black and white films for lab processing.
It's better for shooting with strong contrasts in light/shadow.

The Favourite
I've come back to using this film after a few years and I will continue to love it. It was my first ever film when i began and it was both versatile and forgiving for a beginner. As i've experimented with new techniques and lighting, it has been fantastic to use and easy to use when teaching how to develop.

Decent film, not particularly stunning results but no major issues either.
