XP2 will yield you some good b&w images if a little flatter in contrast to TriX or HP5.

I tended to do my own FP4 and HP5 developing and yes they were more contrasty ….but I used to boost contrast when printing my XP2 lab negs.

B&W was for me a mixed bag of sorts..I was always looking for the perfect developer...Aucutol..Acufine..Tetenal was the best chemical company of course..color was invariably shot on slides with GAF Anscochrome 500 being the Fastest of them all ...AGFA CT18 for snowscapes,...ah yes, the days of film, may they never return.

But they ARE returning - there is a growing following for film photography. Maybe driven by a distrust of AI manipulation and maybe because it demands more of the photographer versus the happy Iphone snappper and Instagram.

It may well take photography away from its roots in basic image capture and faithful reproduction but it opens up a whole host of artistic opportunities ....if the person is interested in doing that. I really don't want to go back to darkroom work again. I had years developing autoradiographs for UKAEA and then bizarrely continued in photographic darkrooms as a hobby!! As soon as I was able to subcontract film processing and print production I seized the opportunity.

Kidding aside,..Film, Chemistry,Darkroom etc. has an attraction of it own, and if I was half a century younger then I would be interested in that , just as I was then in the Collodium process. Now that way of photography does have challenges and virtues of its own,and providing the Mfgrs. continue supporting by offering the goodies required, then it will probably be around for a long time to come. I mean to remember that photography was Not accepted as an artform until early 1930´s in the USA, and not until the 1950`s in EUROPE ,I still meet those who consider Digital as Not being art, but accept Film photography as so, Indeed , a true photog is someone who uses film. Due to it being a complicated medium of different demands ,it does force the photog. to be more attentive to workflow,which in turn will offer rewards in satisfaction of self,and a deeper understanding of what makes a good picture.

In real terms, its a very small step from film photography to digital photography. I personally think anyone who draws a line between the two in terms of art, is missing the whole meaning of art.

So, as a starter for 10 I have gone for a roll of Ilford HP5+ (400 asa) and a roll of Kodak Gold (200 asa) I'll shoot them both through the FE which has been fully serviced and then maybe a roll of Fuji film colour & B&W and see which I prefer...... I had some not bad experience with HP5+ (dichroic fog even with D23, a non-solvent developer and fresh fixer) so I'd recommend Kodak products instead. BTW where did you have the camera serviced?

The camera was serviced by Rob at Vintage Cameras Galore - he does work for the London Camera Exchange and came recommended.
