Wait, so if Harman were to develop some totally new product they couldn’t market it under the Ilford name?

That doesn’t sound right. They just came out with the darkroom tent under the Ilford...

It is almost impossible to over expose XP2, at least in terms of yielding good tonality without blowing out highlights. That makes it a great film for old cameras with limited adjustments or possibly...

No. According to Ron Mowry, retired Kodak engineer over on APUG, the K-14 chemicals are no more toxic than E6.

In my experience XP2, while fine at box speed 400, works best at 200. 800 is marginal and the claims for 1600 (at least without extending development time which might help) are as empty as the...

Anyone printed XP2 on colour paper?

I develop it in Kodak T-Max developer with great results. I use the Ilford recommendations but develop for one stop more than the speed I shoot it. In other words, I typically shoot it at EI 3200 and...

Silence is deafening, eh Mike? I can see, given the price, why it's not as popular on your side of the pond. When I get a chance I'll mix some up to warm dilutions and compare to Harman WT.
