While the nominal film speed of the XP 2 is ISO 400, the film can be overexposed by a considerable amount without any harmful side effects. As a matter of fact, overexposure will lead to noticeably finer grain. General recommendations are not to shoot with speeds lower that ISO 100, but in tests I have received usable results at speeds of ISO 50 and even ISO 25, but the film did get rather dense and thus more difficult to print. The reverse essentially happens with underexposure. Rating the film at ISO 800 will usually render very useful results, but with an increase in grain. At higher speeds there is a definite loss of shadow detail which makes use of higher ISO settings questionable at best. In general, the advantage of the film lies in the fact that you can change ISO settings in mid roll without the need of any development adjustments and thus being able to take advantage of the finer grain and better tonality at lower ISO settings when the situation allows you to do so.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-69774345884169899932017-11-01T10:46:23.190-05:002017-11-01T10:46:23.190-05:00How can the Ilford XP 2 be used over such a wide e...How can the Ilford XP 2 be used over such a wide exposure range without the need of development adjustment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-22223533250335249332017-11-01T10:45:52.488-05:002017-11-01T10:45:52.488-05:00No. Push processing does not render any increase i...No. Push processing does not render any increase in film speed.
