So…. I did a film test recently that begs the question: is Fuji Neopan 400CN really just rebranded Ilford XP2 Super? This is my opinion, but it sure looks like it to me! Both films are best at EI 200 and have a very usable range from EI 50-640.
Look at the histogram- they are virtually identical! So very close, shot only a few minutes apart, any difference is attributable to the changing light outside. Hey- I still like XP2 Super… and it’s nice to know that when in the UK or Japan the 400CN is a go-to option as well.

Does the 4181 at the bottom of both films indicate it was made in the same factory or production line?
Made in same factory by Ilford is always been known but there was info that it was tweaked to Fuji specs…. this is of course in my opinion not true…
Did you try to push process XP2 or Neopan 400CN?
neither one of them push very well…. portra 400 would be a better choice for pushing.
