I was trying the XP2 but I think I prefer the Kodak BW400CN.

It doesn't seem to have quite the latitude of BW400CN, or even of the original XP1 which I remember shooting quite happily at ISO1600 back in the 80s. Somehow the prints don't have the tonal qualities of the Kodak film. Hard for me to describe what I mean but it seems harsher somehow.

Did you do the development yourself or get it done by a commercial processor? Reason I ask is the last XP-2 I had done at a local processor was a disaster - I think they used mud in one of the baths!!!

It was a commercial dev but a high end good quality one. The negs look fine although the scans weren't as good as usual.
