CFP Double-X 135-36

I just received a note from Camera Film Photo about a new-to-me double-x 135-36 film. Anyone here know any more about it?

[Highway 61]

Kodak motion picture Double-X recut from long footage reels to fit in a 135-36 cartridge, old recipe 200 ISO film, nothing special with that thing, will produce normal images if normally exposed and normally developed. Visible grain, low contrast and normal greyscale range. Sold for twice as much as some real photo film of the same kind, as usual with those rebadged products targetting the hipsters market. For the price of one roll of that thing you can buy two Ilford 135-36 HP5+ rolls. The customer's decision and choice.

I agree with Highway 61. If I had to guess, I'd say it's just re-spooled Eastman Double-X. The link on their webpage to Massive Dev Chart for development times is broken, but has "Eastman" in the URL.

5222? They should identify it as such.
I already have 100' I am working thru.
Thanks.

Currently shooting through a 30' roll I got from The Film Photography Project a year ago. Not as cheap as it used to be. But a pretty nice film all the same.

I like the look of Eastman 5222. I have been getting it from "Ultrafine Online," on ebay. Not cheap, but for the small amount I shoot, it makes more sense than having to roll my own.
