Just shot the remaining frames on the XP2 film and developed it.

Have attached 2 consecutive frames from the roll.
1st one was shot at 400asa, as per my original post
2nd one shot at 100 asa (this might be a bit out of focus)

Darkroom out of commision at the moment so have scanned the negs as both +ve and -ve for comparison (mods - if +ve scans break the rules please delete)

Developing routine
HC-110 1:49 at 20C - 5 mins
6 inversions in first 10 seconds then 3 inversions in 5 seconds every 30 secs
Water stop
Ilford Rapid fixer 15 mins (did not seem to be fully fixed at 10 min so added a further 5 mins to make sure).


100asa certainly better, but would a longer development say 5.30 or even 6 min improve the negs further ?

Have one further roll in my box which I will use to experiment with, but looking at negs anybody got any observations ?
