Shooting Eastman (Double-X) 5222 in the Leica

8723368794_3f8f52a98a_z.jpg


Running some XX at the moment. This in the Leica IIIc/f conversion I "swopped" with TomA. Canon 35mm LTM f2.
Rodinal 1:100 semi stand 1 hr. Four turns to start and four good raps for bubbles then two at about 30 mins and a couple of raps. Sunny sixteen rated at 200/250 (200 in the IIIc/f a marked speed :rolleyes:)
This hand held at 1/15th love that soft shutter. Costa Coffee Shop Lancaster UK.

Hint:- Don't go upstairs with a full tray of coffee carrying a camera bag and camera around the neck, been there done that.
 
Some excellent 5222 photos posted here, recently.

Yesterday I scored a very worthwhile book at our new local photo emporium. "The Darkroom Cookbook" by Steven G. Anchell. Will prove useful for my 5222 experiments.

That is nice Chris.
Didn`t know that there was an upstairs though :)
 
I am curious about stand development of XX using HC-110 which is the only developer I have handy at the moment. Has anyone tried that (or some form of semi-stand) and if so what would be your recommended times when exposing rolls at 200 and 400?

I searched the thread and only found Tom A's comment in this post.

Cheers and TIA

Here are some starting times and EI's for XX and HC-110 "B" dilution:

Yes I saw those before, but thanks. I'm wondering about (semi)stand development though.

There's a guy on APUG named rapakpan (or something like that). Who sells DX coded versions.

This Guy was selling XX on Apug, in 100' cans, for $55 each. Looks like they went pretty quickly, though. Here's the link:

The cheapest way to get this film is still straight from Kodak, but you do have to spring for 400'.

Oh wow, if its dust free, probably not a bad deal, kind of a pain to re-roll 400feet into 100 feet to put into a loader... And really the price is like $170 for 400 feet so at $55 it really isn't a bad deal...

Okay, you guys have my attention!

Going to look into this film a lot more as it is nearing time to stock up! Keep posting your XX images and thanks for this thread!:)
 
Whew! I am impressed! Read the first 11 pages and my head is spinning. Checked Flickr and Flickriver for photos and even more impressed!:angel:

Two of you guys have me getting some XX film in the coming weeks and I am just now starting to develop my own film...hopefully over the weekend I will do my first roll of Arista Premium 400 on my own. Just got the D76 developer, Kodak fixer and Kodak stop bath for that.

Looks like I may try the same with a couple of rolls of XX soon!:eek:

It occurred to me that XX film will be a good match for the Nokton 50mm 1.5 lens that I am currently shooting. Can't wait!
 
Very nice. Any issues scanning the Pyro negatives? I have used PMK+ with XX and really like the tonality. But there was some image color from the Pyro stain.
