I've been documenting the work of my local lifeboat crew to tell the story of the people who volunteer there and how much work goes on behind the scenes, like washing down the hovercraft after it returns to station.
One thing I like about XP2 is it's geared up for grab shots with its wide latitude.
So I shoot a lot of it on Nikon F3s set to AP auto and a 35 or 24mm lens set on the hyper focal mark.
It sometimes looks a bit flat in terms of contrast straight off the scans, but it usually doesn't need too much tinkering under the hood to give it a bit more grit.
As I've previously said in reviews passim, the Wondies really seem to bring out the best from this film with clean, sharp scans.
Had a filmy friend in the bag as well as work stuff while I was doing the harbour up Morston. Love the way this image turned out, more or less exactly as I wanted with a little tickle in post.
I keep try to try other stuff, then I come back to XP2 and it always exceeds expectations. Nice work by the Wondies too - they seem to really excel when it comes to cooking this film.
Nice film, I like it
XP2 super is a do it all film, a fast film yet fine grain with great tones. It has a wide exposure latitude so it sutable for almost any camera. The fact that it is processed C41 is very handy when developing colour film at home or send away labs.
I love shooting with XP2. It's similar to HP5, or even Kentmere Pan 400, but dare I say a bit more contrasty... lots of potential to explore the contrast if you slightly overexpose while shooting lighter compositions or details. I develop at home with my colour film using C41 chemistry and don't think I'll go back to a different BW film
