XP2 is a sharp, fine grain ISO 400/27° chromogenic film, which means that while it records a black and white image, it requires processing in colour chemicals. The fact that it can be processed in colour chemicals is convenient and means that there will often be a quicker turnaround time on your film should you take it to a processor. Probably best suited for portraiture work XP2 gives great detail in shadows and highlights and because of an improved emulsion gives cleaner highlights and stronger blacks with a greater exposure latitude. For the best results the processor will need a designated XP2 channel, this will give genuine black and white prints. If not, then the effect will vary from sepia to light green.
