Ilford XP2 Technical Data Sheet

I pulled a direct quote from the XP2 technical data sheet in this video because it lays out the stuff that actually matters: exposure range, speed rating, and reciprocity failure. If you’re going to shoot XP2 seriously (especially long exposures), it’s worth having this open and referencing it.

Pros

+Clear official guidance on EI 50–800 exposure range
+Includes reciprocity failure chart/formula for long exposures
+Helpful for understanding XP2’s intended C-41 processing

Cons

-A bit technical if you just want quick shooting advice
