Ilford XP2 Super is a high-speed, fine-grained beauty of a 120 film - and most importantly it can be processed via the normal colour process which is offered as same-day development in many high-street shops! A useful chemical trick from Ilford that has wonderful benefits to the effective exposure latitude of the film
Ilford was founded in 1879 in the English town of the same name. They are B&W royalty in the photography industry thanks to their 140-year heritage and their support for photographers with chemicals and development as well as film. In the mid-20th Century they produced several well-regarded camera lines (including one given to Princess Elizabeth that was later stolen!) but today they are focused on producing the best films and development processes that they can.

Convenient to develop.
Nice sharp negatives, zero grain. Contrast is not so strong which is helpful if you are darkroom printing.

Never disappoints
I love XP2, I shoot more of it than any other B&W film. I don't develop myself so it being processed in C41 just makes life easier (and cheaper) for me. The images are very clean so if you're looking for more grain then there are plenty of other options. But for a cloudy day I will almost always reach for XP2.

A decent film
I've run both XP2 and HP5 through my Kodak Cresta, and it's a tough choice as to my favourite. I do love HP5s contrasts, but the fact you can develop XP2 with colour processing is a bonus not to be overlooked (especially when b&w processing tends to be more expensive)
I say give the XP2 a try for yourself 🙂
XP2 is one of my favourite film when looking for creamy photos and reliable results
For me, there's absolutely nothing wrong with XP2 at all. The film is reasonably cheap and produced fantastic results throughout in 35mm and 120 format.
The film captures details very well and renders shadows nicely. Some shots are attached.
