(XP2)

Utrecht, The Netherlands.

So I finally got my first roll of XP2, and actually my first roll of XP2 ever. I had shot a lot of Agfapan 100 and 400 in my days of home developing with Rodinal, but I had no experience with chromogenic b/w film so far. The results are, well, quite amazing! This film is really good. I cannot really tell until I make a proper paper copy, but from the negs and the scan I have the feeling that the film delivers a very good resolution, with fine grain and smooth tonal transitions. Pretty amazed by the tonal range, too. Well, thats what everybody else says, but I just have the feeling that the results are much better than my earlier attempts with Agfapan and Rodinal (I'm not saying that was a bad combo, probably my skills had a lot to do!). This are just some of the exposures, all shot in Utrecht during one of these sunny days of last week.

Ah, I forgot to say, I shot at 200ASA all the time due to the good lighting, I guess that added to the smooth quality of the grain.
