Philippe -- Yes, indeed film. XP2 developed in gosh knows how fresh C-41 soup in a small lab in the lower east side of Manhattan for $8 and change, and then scanned at 3200dpi on my Konica-Minolta 5400 scanner. I do think I nailed the exposure on this one (I "guess" at the exposure since I don't use a light meter) because other frames on the same roll where not nearly as creamy as this one. XP2 is not so kind to underexposure -- the "grain" can get really ugly when scanned. Win some and lose some... .
