Experiment with Ilford XP2 (C41) developed in Rodinal

[gsgary]

Ilford has given some XP2 films to give out at our camera club but nobody wanted it because it should be developed in C41 colour developer so i thought i would try it in coventional B+W chemical, Rodinal, i also shot them at different ISO's shot 3 was iso800 the rest were iso200

Hey Gary, nothing at all wrong with those shots! Nice contrast and tones. Looks really good.
Da*m you Gary, Everytime I look at you stuff I get the BW film bug.
My wife would kill me after buying that D200! :chatty:

I think putting his bags by the door might be a little suspicious

You certainly had better luck with this experiment than I did with Kodak CN in standard Dektol. Mine turned out grainy, murky and flat.

Join the club. I am already there. FREEDOM ! :lmao:
My CN in Rodinal came murky to. How about other color films ? I still have a handful of Kodak print films.

You cant get it developed anymore so its either throw it away or play

Seen lots of good results on the internet, shots above i used 1+25 for 19 minutes, got another 7 rolls to play with much more fun than digital

iirc, Kodachrome has more in common with b/w film than E6.

Why did your club members not want the film because it should be developed in C-41 process? Cost or other?

The last few years I shot BW film this is what I used, saved me time in the darkroom. I'd drop the film off to a local lab and not have prints made, worked out OK for me. Of course I was just doing amateur stuff, so I didn't have any problems with the results.
