in various B&W developers like HC-110, (Pa)Rodinal, or Xtol? Grain, tonal smoothness, resolution, speed?Īs I recall, the larger the film, the thicker the base - 35mm < 120 < 4x5. My question here is, what are the real differences between XP-2 Super in its canonical C-41 process, vs. I'm processing both B&W and C-41 negatives at home, though obviously B&W is (or can be) much cheaper than using C-41 kits (working on converting to a more budget friendly way of using C-41 chemistry), as well as offering more control over the final negative than is usually considered with C-41 (obviously, though, color shifts from changing temperature or time aren't likely to be a problem with a single-layer emulsion). I recently bought five rolls of each to give the film a good try.
Local mini-labs are gone, and so is T400CN, but XP2 appears to be still popular and readily available in 35mm and 120, and apparently lots of folks process it as silver-image B&W. I had understood, before my time away from photography, that Kodak T400CN and Ilford XP2 Super were specifically intended to allow users to shoot black and white, but have their film processed at (then common) local mini-labs, and potentially get their results back the same day, as was the case for many years with color negative materials.
