Ilford XP2 Super - 35mm Chromogenic Black & White Film

Black and white film for people who can't be bothered with separate chemistry. Genius, really. Ilford XP2 Super is a chromogenic black and white film that processes in standard C-41 colour chemicals — which means you can develop it literally anywhere that does colour film. But why would you use any of those folks when Chemical Dependency Lab can develop it for you? No specialised black and white chemistry required, no separate development run, no explaining to the lab tech what you're trying to do. Just drop it in with your colour rolls, and collect sharp, fine-grained black and white results. In stock now and shipping fast from the UK.

What Makes Ilford XP2 Super Good

ISO 400 - Medium-high speed, versatile for a wide range of lighting conditions. Fast enough for handheld shooting, fine-grained enough to look excellent in prints and scans.

C-41 Processing - Develops in standard colour chemistry. Send it in with your colour rolls — we handle it all in the same run.

Exceptionally Fine Grain - For an ISO 400 film, XP2 Super produces remarkably clean results. One of the finest-grained 400-speed films available.

Wide Exposure Latitude - Rate it from ISO 50 to 800 and still get excellent results. Genuinely forgiving across a wide range.

High Sharpness - Crisp, well-defined images. Detail stays clear across the tonal range.

DX Coded - Automatic cameras read ISO 400 correctly.

24 or 36 Exposures - Both available.

Best For

Photographers who want black and white results without committing to separate B&W processing, mixed rolls where you don't want to separate your C-41 and B&W, and anyone who appreciates the XP2's exceptional grain structure at ISO 400. Send it our way — we develop and scan it too.

Perfect for photographers who want the black and white aesthetic without the black and white chemistry faff. XP2 Super makes the dependency considerably less complicated.
