Subject: [Leica] Re: XP2 in E6

I note from the latest Leica Fotographie that Ilford XP2 can be exposed at
100iso and then processed in E6 to produce b&w slides. Has anyone tried
this?
I used this do do part of the Jaguar catalog two years ago. You get very 
contrasty blue-green slides with a sort of odd halo effect. A real 
different look, bracket a lot.Kind of a neat trick but you only would want 
to do this once in a life time. A bit too much of a gimmick.If I recall 
xp2 was a blue green but CN a green brown and you could change these 
colors by pushing and pulling. Lots of fun if you have a big Jobo and 
someone to run it.
