Ilford XP-2 Super 135/36 Reel

Discover the ultimate in black and white film flexibility with the ILFORD XP-2 Super 135/36 Reel. A standout choice in the world of analog photography, this film uniquely combines the timeless aesthetic of monochrome imagery with the unparalleled convenience of modern colour C41 processing. This means you can drop off your film at any lab that develops standard colour negative film, making it one of the most accessible and versatile black and white films on the market.

ILFORD XP-2 Super is a fast, sharp, fine-grain black and white film designed for photographers who demand quality and convenience. Its nominal speed of ISO 400 makes it a perfect all-rounder, capable of capturing stunning detail in a wide variety of lighting conditions, from bright daylight to more challenging indoor or overcast scenes. Whether you are shooting street photography, portraits, landscapes, or travel documentation, this film delivers consistently excellent results.

One of the most celebrated benefits of XP-2 Super is its exceptionally wide exposure latitude. This forgiving nature allows photographers to experiment and shoot with confidence. You can effectively rate the film anywhere between ISO 50 and ISO 800 on a single reel and still achieve high-quality, printable negatives. When overexposed, it produces incredibly fine grain and smooth, detailed highlights. When underexposed, it retains strong shadow detail with a slight increase in grain and contrast, offering immense creative control directly in-camera. This reel of 35mm film, providing 36 exposures, is perfect for a full day of shooting.

As a chromogenic film, XP-2 Super forms its image with dyes, not silver, during development. This results in negatives that are not only sharp and fine-grained but also perfectly suited for scanning. The dye-based structure minimizes the appearance of dust and scratches, leading to cleaner digital files with less post-processing work required. The final prints exhibit rich, deep blacks, crisp whites, and a beautiful range of mid-tones that bring your subjects to life.
