Thanks Jack :-) Ilford make XP2 Super. It's their chromogenic B&W ISO 400 emulsion. I'm using it because it can be processed and scanned for me by most minilabs and it doesn't have the oarange mask like the Kodak chromogenic B&W films so if I want to print it on normal B&W paper I won't have extra difficulties. This lot of scans weren't as good as the last, but it does seem to have smooth grain and decent tonality. Hopefully I'll get some film processing gear back in my posession and I'll be able to do my own developing and scanning and use normal B&W film again. XP2 Super seems to be the pick of the chromogenic films, many people comment favourably on it. The negs look good, clean and with a good tonal range. ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au
