I have used just about every other bw film
Ilford makes (except the fake C41 bw)



Hi Mark,
the word 'fake' conveys negative [1] connotations to me.  I'd like to
suggest that the Ilford XP2 chromogenic emulsion is no fake, but is in fact
a great film.  It is probably the most 'grainless' film you will put into
your B&W enlarger, and it also has has a considerably wide exposure latitude
resulting in more detail being retained in both shadows and highlights, even
on a sunny day.

regards
Peter

[1] Mind you the word "negative" conveys positive connotations to me too !
Sorry I couldn't help myself
