Shooting Eastman (Double-X) 5222 in the Leica

I shot these at 320. My next roll is at 250. developed in D76 for 10.5 minutes. for PP they are all brought up about a stop in LR but all the detail is there so maybe the darkish negatives are good. also adjusted black point and white point and that's it.

Lovely photos. Nice beginning. I like the tonality.
What ISO, developer, times, post-processing etc., etc. ?

Someone commented (not on here) that 5222 was a "chalk and soot" film. At Portmeirion, (North Wales UK) I think it catches the spring foliage nuances very well. More on and more to go on my flickr. 50mm CSonnar f1.5 on M2

Lovely picture.

Could you care sharing developer used and processing time for the double x ?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that, I posted because I see so few Landscapes with 5222, street is very "in" at the moment.
I think I tagged all the flickr but maybe not it does get tedious even with a batch.
I am between darkrooms at the moment having moved recently ( it needs a build not a conversion) so am outsourcing ;)

They really look after the film, clean and flat, the scan is as posted straight upload. Really if I wasn't wet printing I wouldn't bother scanning at home. IMHO developing is easy it is the scan that is the killer step.http://www.ilfordlab.com/page/57/Black-and-White-Prints-from-Film.htm
 
Here is a European Vendor offering -preloaded- 36 exposure rolls of Eastman 5222 and Eastman Plus-X 5231! Glad to see somebody doing this! And the printed cartridges look cool :cool: 3,14 and 3,34 Euros per roll. 10 cassettes of 36 exp Eastman 5222 28,64 Euros. Not bad at all.

Here is the link: http://www.foto-r3.com/pelicula-byn/35mm?page=1 Click on the 5222 and 5231 items to see the full descriptions.
 
Still waiting for the 5222 in the mail......

Anyway tested ORWO N74, took this after the Friday Prayers near the National Mosque, Kuala Lumpur. The three guys are having cupping done to them.

Double X in Pyrocat HD. Standard developing, 15 minutes with agitation every 60 sec for 8-10 seconds.
I do a pre-wash for 5 minutes (plain water) and the 1st minute is done with cont. agitation.

Ok thanks to Nokton48 i have decided to try to develop the XX like a Tri-X...so i have exposed the film at 400 Asa and then i have developed in T-Max Dev 1+4 for 6min. at 20°
The results are really nice to my eyes, i love this kind of grain and tonality, maybe the scans could be better but i'm not a Photshop expert so this is the best i can do...:rolleyes:

Emiliano - I love it at 400. These are nice especially No: 2. If it wasn't for the modern technology in the frame it could be a still from Cinecittà in its heyday, just waiting for Fellini to arrive......
 
Thanks Andy, i promise you i will take some shot in Cinecittà with the Double-X and one of my Cine-Lens...trying to avoid technology and new car, so maybe we can dream for few seconds ^_^

Interesting developer for double-X.

I may give a try in my next rolls.

Thanks for the info...
