It's not a natural characteristic of the film itself, but prints can
easily be sepia-toned, and films like Ilford XP-2, when printed on
colour papers, tend to come out looking sepia-toned as well. It's also
very easy to do digitally - I use PSP and it's just a matter of
colourising a monochrome image. If I remember rightly, 20 0n the 'hue'
box and 80 0n the 'saturation' box is a reasonable place to start.

I was wondering something...
Sometimes you see b&W images that are not purely grey-scale. They have
an almost brownish look to them, but are still unsaturated. Is this
done in Photoshop, or is it a film characteristic?
I'd like to try my hand at reproducing this...
