Thank you. I missed that.Near the bottom left corner of page 85 of that article they seem to be suggesting 600.
Unfortunately, I don't do my own c41 developing. just standard BW.
I do shoot a good amount of regular cn film as it is- but part of my reason for not doing my own c41 or even e6 is that I don't have a reliable way to control water temperature. I'm ok with developing my bw films a little under 68º, but if color requires exact temperatures, I don't know how confident I'd be in my abilities.Probably not worth getting a C-41 kit for just two rolls, but it might be if you're tempted by XP2 Super. Yes, you can process it in B&W chems, but it's got less grain in C-41, and there's the option for "free" speed increase of about one stop if you bleach bypass. I've done bleach bypass with Kodak T400CN.

Another attempt at monochrome prints was EKTAMAX Paper. This was an RC paper for RA-4 paper process. Rather than producing CMY dye image
from respective RGB records the print dyes were " mixed" to produce a near neutral print image. This was used in the school picture and commercial lab business. It allowed making b&w prints from color negatives using existing printers and RA-4 paper process. It allowed the labs to provide and additional product using existing printers and processes.
I haven't processed XP2 Super yet
Ah, Ok! You may want to with XTol (replenished). You will be pleased with the grain and the tonality (EI:100).
As noted above, my first two rolls (one 35mm and one 120) are slated for bleach bypass, shot at EI800. To me, this (if it works at least as well as it did with T400CN) is one of the biggest reasons to pay for XP2
Sometime last year, I formulated a question: what would happen if I cross processed a chromogenic bw film in e6? so sometime last summer I got myself an xp2 super, shot it at iso 100, had it pushed two stops, and here was the result:
wait until I show you the bw+, it's a mix of greys and the orange base.Interesting result! The colour cast is something one has to live with when XP2 Super is processed in colour chemistry to produce dye-based slides. IIRC @thuggins also observed cyan cast when he cross-processed XP2 Super to produce slides.
FWIW XP2 Super gives better looking slides if it is treated like a B&W film and reversal processed for silver-based B&W slides.

Might have misread,The orange based cross processed film Kodak Black and White plus. I can't share any images until thursday, as I don't have access to a scanner right now, but I can take some close ups of the slides when I go to the camera store. It should be worth the wait though.XP2 Super and orange base? That's interesting! Can you share some pics?
I developed a roll XP2 (not super, expired in 1997) that I found in Rodinal. Apart from signs of the backing paper, the pictures turned out fine. Times can be found on massive dev chart.Which B&W developer did you use for developing XP2 Super?
From what I read/heard, on some products Ilford accepts to make loss. They don't want to cause unrest, so as long they can compensate the loss with other products it's fine.I wonder how the sales of Ilford C41 XP2 Plus compares with other trad b&w Ilford films? It always struck me that Ilford regarded XP2 Super as a success

OK, here's some physical digital snapshots of my cross processed Kodak Black and White Plus. I'd really like to have these scanned.
sure thing.Very interesting looking slides! Thanks for sharing.
