Black and White Film Ilford 1839575 36 Shots

Ilford XP2 Super (MPN 1839575, EAN 019498839573) is a black-and-white negative film supplied in a 36-exposure roll. It is a high-speed ISO 400 film that produces sharp, fine-grain images with pronounced highlights and wide exposure latitude. XP2 Super is processed in standard C41 colour negative chemistry, allowing black-and-white results to be developed alongside colour films.

Advantages

XP2 Super combines a fast ISO 400 sensitivity with fine grain and high acutance, delivering well-defined highlights and strong contrast. Its wide exposure latitude makes it forgiving in varied lighting conditions, and C41 compatibility simplifies processing because it can be developed in common colour negative labs and chemistry.

Suitable for

• Street and documentary photography
• Portraits with varied lighting
• High-contrast scenes and backlit subjects
• Photographers who need C41 processing compatibility

How to use

Load the 36-exposure roll into any 35mm film camera according to the camera’s instructions. Meter or estimate exposure for ISO 400 sensitivity; when shooting in mixed or challenging light, consider bracketed exposures to take advantage of the film’s wide latitude. After shooting, submit the roll for C41 processing at a lab or develop it yourself using standard C41 chemicals to obtain black-and-white negatives.

Usage recommendations

For best results, store unused film in a cool, dry place and refrigerate for long-term storage. When shooting, avoid extreme reciprocity exposures and handle negatives with clean, dry hands or gloves to prevent marks. If you require higher shadow detail, slightly overexpose (e.g., +1/3 to +1 EV) since the film tolerates overexposure well.
