Ilford HP5 and Olympus XA2

Ilford HP5 and Olympus XA2

I sort of ignored this film for a long time, but is now one of my preferred negatives to shoot with. Because I was shooting almost nothing but 50 and 100 ASA film negative in any of the cameras I own, I neglected for a good period of time the 400 ASA negatives. No particular reason for this.

Traveling to Denmark, I packed my Olympus XA2 as a backup camera, and a roll of HP5, which I used for both indoors and outdoors shootings. True, I took the 400 film with me thinking that I will use it indoors only, but there you go.

Excellent tonality and sharpness, a bit to sharp perhaps. Processed in ID11, scanned negative.
