Shooting Eastman (Double-X) 5222 in the Leica

Great! Box speed for daylight. I always shot at 250 in years past but for some reason I have been hearing of others using a different EI. I am using DD-X most of the time these days.

Thank you so much!!!😃😃😃

Ah! I found some Eastman 5222 film in my desk. I had forgotten I had them so now I am ready to ask:

What is the general consensus lately for setting the EI… 80? 100? Other?

Thanks so much!

Dave, I have been very happy shooting 5222 at ISO 250, developed in D-76 for 9 minutes at 68 degrees F. Nice to see you active on the forum, BTW!

In DD-X you can get a little more speed out of it, but 250 is a slight pull that results in beautiful negs if you calibrate your development time to your exposure.
 
Thanks, guys! This saves me a lot of time starting back with 5222film!😃😃😃

Oh how I am loving the process… the craft, the experience and the magic of film again.👍👍👍
 
Just loaded my black FTN with a roll of expired Eastman 5222.

Wondering if I should adjust the EI for the expired date being 8-10 years. 🤔
 
250 is a solid choice. The most I've ever gotten out if it is 640 but that is really sketchy. I'm talking about printable negs, not scanning. You could probably stretch it a bit more if you are just scanning.
 
I am curious to know, if anybody on this forum is test shooting the 120 rolls of Eastman 5222 XX. I have bought a few rolls from B&H, they have it in stock at a discount from it's list price.

I'll be posting some here at the proper time. What about the rest of you medium format XX shooters? Should be delicious looking. :)

You know, I'm OK with $11.99 a roll, 'cause they had to order a master roll from Kodak to pull this off. IMO this stuff is worth supporting!

120 Eastman 5222 XX by Nokton48, on Flickr

I am curious to know, if anyone here has tried yet, the 120 version of Eastman 5222 XX roll film? BTW B&H has the best deal on this I have found, at $11.99/roll.

That's a lot, but they had to invest in a master roll from Kodak to pull this off. So IMO it is worth supporting this. XX is my long fave 35mm emulsion, in medium format it should be delicious :)
