I find XP2S a bit thin at 800, but certainly useable. Don't panic....But for
future reference, it pulls a whole lot better than it pushes.

According to information on Ilford's web site you should just process it
normally. I just tested a roll of XP2 Super and bracketed by 1.5 stops on
either side. Every shot was printable, and the machine prints, though "sepia
toned" came out fine too.
