Exposing Eastman (Double-X) 5222 in the Leica

[PRJ]

It is really a damn shame that we are blocked from buying it now. I blame the PE that took over Alaris. I am on my last 400'. I've been using it off and on for over 20 years at this point. Such a shame. What few resellers there are now are gouging. I'll go back to HP5 once I am through with this last roll.

anyone knows how to buy 400ft of 5222 at the moment? since Kodak stop selling to individuals, I no longer can buy even from B&H or so.

Been through three rolls now, developed in Acufine, very happy with the results so far, have 5 more coming! 🙂

Absolutely love Double X, I have about 12 rolls left but I really hope I can source some more!

What EI and developer do you use? These are gorgeous.

Thankyou!

These were shot at 250, the top one was with an old Nikkormat FTN with a single coated Nikkor-H 50mm f2, the second was with my F3 with an AI 135mm f3.5, the third was my F3 again with an AI 50mm f2.

I'll have to ask the lab what developer they use for Double-X.

All were scanned with my Olympus E-M1 mk2 with Olympus 60mm f2.8 Macro
