These look really nice on the XP2 and the Isolette. ;-) How'd you rate the film? Was it processed normally, or pushed/pulled? I like the C-41 films but have only shot XP2 once, years ago so, my experience with this film is minimal to say the least.

Thanks!

XP2 has extremely wide exposure latitude. Ilford recommends from one stop under exposed to 3 stops over with standard C-41 processing, but I've had usable results from 2 under to 4 over. It doesn't need push processing. Grain is reduced with over exposure. Since it's C-41, it works with Digital ICE.

I shoot it at box speed using an incident meter. When in doubt, I err on the side of overexposure.

It's pretty much the only film I use for 400 ISO b&w. I like it because

1. It's sharper than traditional b&w, with finer grain
   
2. It has better exposure latitude than traditional b&w
   
3. C-41 means developing is cheap and available
   
4. Because of how chromogenic film works, the whites are the areas with the least grain, a look I prefer

Don't forget its ability to use digital ICE. IMO its biggest selling point.

Thanks for all the info. I've only ever shot one roll of this film and it was a while ago so my experience is very limited. I'll buy a roll or two and shoot with it.
