I am an occasional user of Ilford XP2 120, mainly in situations where I want the greatest exposure latitude. The guidance with this film is that it can be rated at a wide range of speeds, without any need to push or pull process the film. This obviously has the advantage that different frames on the same film can be treated differently.(posted 8334 days ago)However, I am interested in one question. Whilst this film handles being treated like this, would it be possible to get better results by pushing/pulling? For example, say I expose it at 1600. Will there be more shadow detail/sharpness/acutance etc. if pushed (even at the price of greater grain)?
Basically, I'm not sure what the issues are with this, but would really welcome any views or experiences...
