Casino Eastman | Eastman Double-X 5222 Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- Today, I look at an iconic cine film, Eastman Double-X 5222, released in 1959 and hasn't changed. It was among the first cine films I shot through my still cameras. A lot has changed since then, with availability plus being produced in 120 formats for CineStill. It has become a fast favourite as a good general-purpose film that can do almost anything and works for almost every developer.

This is one film I look forward to shooting. Thanks Alex for introducing us to Double-X. I really like the setup of this video and am looking forward to the next film review!
It’s an awesome film! Next film review is Harman Phoenix which will be a different format. But a full field test video will be Adox CHS100II! Thanks for the kind words and for watching 🍸
@@AlexLuyckxPhoto Nice! Phoenix is an intriguing film that I have yet to shoot and and I am very interested in your experiences with CHS100II.
I really like this film on 120, it reminds me the late 80's/90's Tri-X (managed to pick some rolls expired in very good conditions recently). On 35 I find it interesting but it really shines on 120, I believe. I've developed it with D96 and 510 Pyro with nice results. My, unfortunately in photographic terms, has kept me away from the lab for the last months, so I haven't had the opportunuty to print the negs. But they look very nice, have lots of information on both high and low values. I don't have a 120 scanner so, to fill my curiosiity, I do a not that best method: photograph them on a light table with my iPhone and invert the image with Photoshop. The results showed promising :)
Thanks for the video, nicely produced as always, I'm also a big fan of James Bond and that Casino Royale scene is memorable!
Oh yeah, D96 and 510 are favourites also! The camera scanning seems to be a good option! Thanks for watching 🍸
I've been shooting this stuff before it became the thing to do now. I'm still shooting 16mm and been using what you can't get today is Microdol-X by Kodak and some home made Pyro 510 🤩
Oh nice at the 16mm! And I’ll bet it looks amazing in Microdol-X! LegacyPro produces a version called Mic-X that is an exact duplicate of the original. Thanks for watching 🍸
Thanks for putting this wealth of information together for the world. I mainly use FPP-110 (HC clone)and like my results. But if i decide to switch it up, I'll definitely come back to this video!
Cheers! Yes Double-X does well in a lot more developers! Thanks for watching 🍸
I have been bulk loading and shooting XX and processing with D96 exclusively for about 2yrs now. I love the results!
Double-X and D96 is a magic combination! Thanks for watching 🍸
Good to have you testing the different developers with double x, I am mister d76 stock and can pick up some inspiration to try another developer in order to get another look on the frames!
Cheers! Glad I could help and inspire you! Thanks for watching 🍸
I just love Double X. The tonality it brings out is something I've not found with any other film to date. I've not shot it in medium format as yet, but maybe I'll try it this year.
Oh it is totally worth shooting in 120! And yeah there’s nothing else like DoubleX! Thanks for watching 🍸
*SPLOOSH* That R09 with Double-X! Thank you for that, I have a roll of BWXX in my bag to shoot through the 6x12 back for my 4x5, and I think I will wait until I am able to make it to Beau and pick up the R09.
Oh man yes! Spezial and a 6x12 back would be amazing! Thanks for watching 🍸
@@AlexLuyckxPhoto I have a super wide lens for the 4x5 on loan to me from a friend for a few months, so I want to use that 47mm XL with the 6x12 back and my river spot. So, something to keep an eye out for.
Thanks Alex , these videos are terrific! Really thorough , well done ! If I missed it sorry , but is the flic film XX this same product ?
Cheers! Yes Flic Film XX is the same! Thanks for watching 🍸
i ike your presentation!
Thanks! 🍻
Luyckx. Alex Luyckx. Loved the intro and XX is probably my all time favorite black and white film!
Yeah it’s a favourite of mine! Thanks for watching 🍸
That was really extensive, thanks for the hard work ! Still figuring out my issue with fomapan 400 and pyrocat Hd…I’ll definitely try double X with HC110.
