Response to What is the best film for beginners?

I also vote for XP2 Super rated at 200...several years of teaching beginner B+W Darkroom and Photography to people who were quite often using cameras whose meters were "questionable" at the best...reinforces this opinion. XP2 Super saves the beginner from having to master negative processing before the can start printing...I tell my students shoot a roll of XP2 Super, pay $2 to get it processed...it will only take 20 minutes to get really easy to print, highly enlargable, dust free negs...then as Ephraums says in his brilliant book 'Gradient Light' - The art and craft of using variable contrast paperuse your time to learn to printjim
