Neil Armstrong Museum of Aviation and Space. Last turn before theater, Neil's back-up suit. Not the one he wore, but on the lander at the time. I was pretty pumped up about being near the stuff. :)

Portra 160; super angulon 21mm f4, M3. Tourists looking at the Barcelona skyline from Parc Guell. Note a woman pulling her mother out of the way of my shot bottom right!

One of my favourite beaches in Ireland!  You did a good job.  Pinhole, Lomo or similar?

Thank you! AFAIK at Inch Beach it was my Nikon FE2 in 1994... all other pics with Leica M7...

 

... dreamlike !

This is certainly outstanding. I have never seen anything even close to this. Thanks.

Tellerrand, you are presenting a superb body of work which only enhances our perception of the qualities of film - thank you. Keep 'em coming!

Thank you very much guys! Much appreciated!

Hi Antonio

 

I don't think Double X (not Double XX, because that would be like XXXX :D ) was meant to compete with Tri-X as it is motion picture film stock.

 

I bought a roll directly from Kodak and that was considerably cheaper, per roll, than Tri-X. I don't find the EU product catalogue now but in the US one there is on page 13 a list of worldwide sales locations with contact details.

 

To be honest I prefer it vastly over Tri-X because it pushes and pulls very well, has lovely grain and dries entirely flat.

 

The only thing is the "little" roll is 400ft (there is a large one too, which is 1000ft). It sells for around 260 USD. I seem to remember the price was around that figure but in Euro when I bought my roll a few years ago.

 

It definitely pays off (a lot) to buy the 400ft roll instead of buying, for instance, Cinestill's (in my opinion erroneously and misleadingly) rebranded BwXX (double-x) at 8,99 USD per roll. Better support Kodak imho.

Question: how easy (or difficult) is to find Kodak Double XX for cheap? It looks like it's almost more expensive than Tri-X. Was it considered a cheaper alternative to Tri-X in the past?
