Subject: [Leica] Ilford XP2 (was Frugal for PAW)

My initial images with Ilford XP2 were disappointing, with harsh contrast
(chalk and soot). How far can you pull it for good shadow detail? I was
thinking of trying it at E.I. 320, but the previous thread seems to favor
E.I. 200. Roger Hicks has many excellent images from XP2 in one of his
books, but I don't recall whether or not he used a slower speed E.I.
