XP2 SUPER is a sharp, fast, fine grain black and
white film. It can be used for any photographic
subject, but ensures excellent results when there is
a wide subject brightness range.

XP2 SUPER has improved exposure latitude
compared with XP2, and gives exceptionally
sharp, crisp prints. The excellent highlights and
improved shadows of XP2 SUPER give enhanced
negative contrast for optimum black and white
print quality.

WHY XP2 SUPER IS DIFFERENT
XP2 SUPER is a chromogenic film. This means that
the dyes which make up the image are formed
during development rather than being present in
the film or added later.

The extremely wide exposure latitude of XP2
SUPER is the result of the unique relationship
between exposure and grain in chromogenic films.
SUPER is the result of the unique relationship
between exposure and grain in chromogenic films.
The best balance of sharpness and grain is
obtained when XP2 SUPER is exposed at
EI 400/27. However, down-rated or overexposed
XP2 SUPER negatives have finer grain, the
opposite of that expected and obtained with
conventional films. Up-rated or underexposed XP2
SUPER negatives have only a slight loss in quality.
Furthermore, standard C41 processing is
recommended for the whole of the exposure
range.

DESCRIPTION
XP2 SUPER 35mm film is coated on 0.125mm/5-mil
acetate base and is available in 24 or 36
exposure DX cassettes, or in bulk film lengths of 17
and 30.5 metres (56 and 100ft). XP2 SUPER
35mm film is supplied in DX coded cassettes,
suitable for all 35mm cameras.

XP2 SUPER rollfilm is coated on 0.110mm/4-mil
clear acetate base with an anti-halation backing
which clears during development. It is available in
120 lengths and is edge numbered 1 to 19.
Following international standards, XP2 SUPER
rollfilm has a red exposed label to signify colour
negative processing.

EXPOSURE RATING
XP2 SUPER film has a speed rating of
ISO 400/27° (400ASA, 27DIN, EI 400/27) to
daylight. The ISO speed rating was measured
using standard C41 processing. Although rated at
ISO 400/27°, XP2 SUPER can be exposed over the
range EI 50/18–800/30. When higher speed is
needed, XP2 SUPER can be rated at up to
EI 800/30. For finer grain, when speed is less
important, rate the film at EI 200/24, although for
finest grain it can be rated as low as EI 50/18 if
required.

The practical implications of this wide exposure
range are very important. XP2 SUPER can be
exposed at a setting to suit the job. The benefit of
variable speed also provides security against
inadvertent over- or underexposure.

It should be noted that the exposure index (EI)
recommended for XP2 SUPER is based on a
practical evaluation of film speed and is not based
on foot speed, as is the ISO standard.
