An Excellent Film to Re-Discover B & W Photography!.......2003-09-05
ILFORD of the United Kingdom, long known for its excellent black and white films is the company that in the early 1980s developed "chromogenic" black and white films. Rather than use silver halide crystals which was th traditional method of manufacturing B&W film, which then require the use of developer, stop bath and fixing chemicals, ILFORD engineered this film around the use of colored dyes, much as regular color film is manufactured.
Successful in this effort, chromogenic B&W films are then capable of being developed in color chemistry, specifically the C-41 process. This film, like the offerings from ILFORD's competitors, KODAK and KONICA MUST NOT be developed in traditional black and white chemicals.
All chromogenic black and white films currently available are rated at ISO 400. Despite the relatively fast speed, all of those on the marketed are very fine grained and offer varying degrees of contrast. This film is no exception.
Chromogenic B&W films offer the convenience and cost effectiveness of being able to be developed by any local 1 hour lab. The key to that is the C-41 processing and the fact that the user will get B&W images even when they are printed on color paper. Some folks ho have used this film and its competition have commented on the fact that they have notice "color" shifts toward sepia, magenta or blue/gray. Part of that is the result of the technology of the film, part is the use of color paper to develop the images and the final part is the level of time and effort expended by the lab technician when the film is processed.
To completely eliminate any possibility of color shift, ask the lab to print using black and white paper. Doing so eliminates any possibility of color shift and the user then receives fine grained, very sharp, contrasty "black & white" photos.
The direct competition from KODAK includes: Kodak Black and White + (the consumer grade film), T400CN (the professional film) and PORTRA 400 (a professional chromogenic B&W portrait film often used at weddings).
KONICA's offering is known as MONOCHROME VX.
These are interesting, useful and convenient films and they also serve as a new way to "re-discover" the elegance and drama of black and white photography.
I recommend ILFORD's XP-2 Super. Try it, experiment with different color and black and white paper(s) and you'll be able to explore new roads of photographic discovery.

Black and White Proof Prints, Cheap, No Compromises.......2006-06-22
Love shooting black and white film. However, I'm a hobbiest and it's difficult, time consuming, and expensive to make 15, 20, 30 black and white prints. That takes hours and hours in the darkroom and costs a lot in terms of paper and chemistry. Sure you can make contact prints and look at them under a loupe, then print only the handful of prints you really like in a darkroom session, which is what I do. However, there are always negatives you would like to have a print but don't make the cut. You have to make these tough choices or you would be in the darkroom forever. Because of this, I always seem to have a backlog of negatives to print.
Many scan them, but to me you might as well shoot digital if you're not printing them. I set up a dedicated black and white printer a few years back. However, to my eye they simply don't match the beauty of a wet processed print, which you "nail". That's the whole fun of it.
The other option is a lab. But black and white is now considered a speciality process for which you pay a premium. They're not really an option for a hobbiest at $0.45 per print, plus processing fees and postage.
The solution? Ilford XP2 Super. It's C41 process meaning it can be processed at any photo lab. The "proofs" look great and are cheap - costing no more than a regular roll of color film (the black and white paper alone would cost more than what I pay for processing). It's also lightning fast - no way you could bang out 36, 6x4 proofs including developing the film in a tank, hand process, in an hour like at the corner pharmacy.
The difference between Kodak's black and white C-41 and the Ilford is Kodak's negative has an orange base. It will print better on the color paper used at the lab, but from what I hear (never tried it) it's a difficult film to work with in the darkroom because of the orange tinted negative is designed for printing black and white on color paper. The Ilford does not have the orange tint of the Kodak, it's really designed for printing on black and white paper so it prints with a very slight tint on color paper (Some labs are better than others at handling this film. I've had some labs print this without a tint at all). However, its clear base handles like any other negative for making enlargements in a darkroom on black and white paper. This is why I choose the Ilford over the Kodak. However, Kodak's no slouch either if you're content with 6x4's you don't plan to enlarge.
If there were quality compromises, I wouldn't use this film. There really aren't. It's quite a beautiful film, very sharp, with great laditute and contrast, and a signature look all its own. I was slow to warm up to this film, but after processing about ten rolls, I now realize I was being silly - stuck in my old ways.
I have just taken the plunge and have ordered a 100' roll for loading in a bulk loader. No more hard choices, no more bottleneck at the enlarger, no more unprinted pictures - I'll always have a print... for better or (usually given my current skill-level) worse.
B&W without the darkroom.......2005-02-15
If you've ever wanted to take black and white pictures with your camera without the hassle of finding a way to get them processed and printed here's your solution. You can get this processed and printed at the local 1 hour lab, just mention to them that the pictures should be black and white, neutral tone. Sometimes when this film is printed on an automatic color printer they come out with a color cast if the machine isn't fancy enough to auto correct and no one notices. This film is also very good in relatively low light environments, since you can use it at up to 800 or even 1600 ISO without significant problems or any fancy correction during processing.
For professionals and serious amateurs you get a unique balance of features. Wide exposure latitude, easy commercial processing anywhere in the world (well, almost anywhere) and true black and white results including filter effects and the ability to easily print on high quality black and white paper without the complications that usually come up from printing from color negatives. It's not a replacement for conventional black and white film, but it does add another tool to your kit and there are lots of times when it is a definitely time and energy saver.
For myself, I use it when I want black and white but easy processing, there are no professional labs in my immediate area. I also have used it for proofing a setup when polaroid wasn't available. A few test shots and a trip to the drug store lets me see where I'm making a mistake without using up expensive film, processing and time. Heck, an hour's break after setting up a studio for something is just what most of us need, time for a drink, some food and fresh air.
