I used XP2 at 200 ASA and found quite often I'd be using a #3 or even 4 filter on Ilford Multicontrast RC paper. With the new XP2 Super, I rate it (usually) at 320 and find I'm printing using a #1 1/2 or #2 filter. The new emulsion seems to have great "snap" (pardon my overly technical terminology!)
