I do not know XP-2, but I do know that I prefer Delta400
over HP5+....
I was not always like that - I used to like HP5. Then they
did "something" and changed the name to HP5+. That
"something" also made my usual development yield grainy
negatives, for some reason, so I switched to Delta400 and
have never looked back :) I am sure that the HP5+ is a fine
film - I just never bothered to learn it.
