Guest cweg Posted March 9, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 9, 2010 Kodak BW400CN and Illford XP2 can be processed in C41. I used the Kodak before I started developing my BW-Films myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidereye Posted March 9, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 9, 2010 Also add Fuji Neopan 400CN to that list. All really good films and all scan far better/easier than conventional BW emulsions. I now shoot Kodak BW400CN @ ISO 200 most of the time myself and very happy with the results. Local Asda charge £2 a roll process only and surprisingly do a really good job on it.

rubenkok Posted March 9, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 9, 2010 Hi Michiel, KODAK PROFESSIONAL BW400CN Film is excellent film material, perfect for scanning too! Kind regards, Ruben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted March 9, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 9, 2010 Ruben, I've been a fan of Ilford XP2 since it came out many years ago, but I have never tried Kodak's BW400CN version. I also sometimes expose at 200ISO for maximum smoothness and fine grain. I hope you don't mind if I ask you a couple of questions about your experience with it. Have you used both? What, if any, are their differences in your opinion? Why do you prefer Kodak's if you do. Anyone else got an opinion on this? Thanks, Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubenkok Posted March 9, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 9, 2010 Hi Tim, Never used XP2, hard to find here (in Holland) I'm a great fan of HP5+ that a can develop myself Kind regards, Ruben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PasMichiel Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted March 10, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) and such 400 film has a fine grid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted March 10, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 10, 2010 The C41 mono films 'almost' dont have a grain structure, so they will scan like colour C41, which is tolerant of automatic dust and spot removal, i.e. it scans easily... They do have grain but it is fluffy like clouds, cant explain it well. They are very tolerant of exposure expose XP2 at 200 ISO for best quality 800 ISO nearly as good, bit like the knob on a dig camera. The XP2 (I think I have it the correct way around) does not have an integral mask, i.e. it is easy to print in a conventional enlarger, with multi grade paper, the other two are more difficult. The big gain with all three is you can drom off in mini lab and have it dev and scanned in 20 mins, bit slower then digital. Noel P.S. I dont have a dig cam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. borger Posted March 10, 2010 Share #9 Posted March 10, 2010 Xp2 is wonderful B&W film with great tonalities. Very forgiving as stated and scans beautiful. Only downside is it scratches so easy. Scratches and dust straight from the lab made me decide to forget about lab-development and do it myself. Now i am fighting filmcurl, where the strips from the lab were always perfectly flat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted March 10, 2010 Share #10 Posted March 10, 2010 The mini labs dry film real quick, in hot air... How are you drying yours and are the scratches along the film? Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotohuis Posted March 10, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 10, 2010 XP2 super has been designed for printing on classical B&W V.C. paper. Kodak BW400CN has been made for making a neutral B&W print in the minilab on RA-4 paper. Fuji Neopan 400CN = Ilford XP2 super. The mask and C41 development gives very small grain but low contrast negatives. Best fit for the XP2 super from Ilford is iso 250 and a standard C41 development. All films are scanning well and the ICE is also working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
