Kodak Eastman Double X Black & White in medium format.
This is the medium format version, of a lovely black and white film. The 65mm version is best known for being used exclusively for Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. This has apparently come from the leftovers of that production (can not say for certain). This film does have sprocket holes present.
As you can see the packaging is not my usual packaging and this is because it has been made and packaged by someone else. I have developed 2 rolls myself and sent some off to friends and there have been no issues of the film.
From Kodak: A high-speed, camera negative film with excellent image structure characteristics designed for general production use both outdoors and in the studio.
Best shot at 250 in daylight, and 200 for tungsten light.
Kodak Eastman Double X can be developed in normal black and white chemistry. The sample images were developed in Ilfora HC and scanned on an Epson V850.

I love to shoot black & white, mostly for portrait work.
I like a contrasty look and feel to my images and Kodak 5222 has just the right balance, clean highlights and pleasing blacks with a smooth transition betwixt the twain. I find that Kodak TMAX400 can be a little too much at times and Ilford Delta or HP5 Plus not quite enough, although the flatter negative gives me a little more options in post.
Shooting this film stock in 120 format also has the sprocket holes which can be included in the final image as it is respooled motion picture film, for me, this just adds to the overall aesthetic, giving the final image a little something extra.
I shoot on a 6x8 and use a flatbed scanner for a digital post production workflow. I have yet to pop into the darkroom to produce a wet print from the negative, but so far I am liking the results I get from this emulsion! My new favourite!!
