I just shot a roll of this film. I shot mine at 800 and had the lab push it two stops. When I got my scans back I was blown away! The contrast and the grain is amazing! I haven't shot HP5 but looking at the comparison I will probably stick to bwxx. Great video! Keep it up!
I’ve been curious about this stock for a while. I’ve used HP5+ and Tri X, but after watching your review I’m definitely going to pick up a few rolls! Thanks for taking the time to put the review out.
Hi, just a quick technical note, BwXX (Kodak Double X) is not an ECN-2 stock and so is not manufactured with a remjet layer. What you are seeing in her shirt isn’t halation. Double X has a limited latitude to begin with, so with pushing the film the whites are going to blow out even faster.
I shoot Eastman Double X in the 16mm motion picture format on an Aaton camera and indeed the latitude is about 1.5 stops on the highlights. I find I have to reign highlights in when I shoot it. It's an excellent film for interiors in my opinion. This film does not have remjet as the previous message explains. It's a very unique film and has a beautiful tonal range.
Just wanted to say a big thanks for this, just got a roll of 35mm and was in a pickle at what to shoot it at, so thanks to this vid I think I’ve made my mind up and going for 400 pushed 1 stop 😁, luurve the inky blacks that this produces, nice to see the comparison with the hp5 as well 👍
extremely helpful video, bro. i've been scouring the internet for more visual information on this film. appreciate you.
Glad it helped man. Happy shooting!
Great video thank you! Just bought my first roll of BWXX and this was the guidance I was looking for🙏😎
You did that with these images! Especially the night shots with Mo. I haven’t used my BWXX yet. I’m waiting for the right moment. I’m a TX 400 fan
Thank you! I am slowly converting over to Tri-x 400 as it's a beautiful black and white film as well! Thanks for watching!
Cool film stock! so versatile, thanks for doing video!
Thanks for watching!

I did the same thing with my first roll on a Pentax 645! It came out AMAZING!!
I'd really like to try Bwxx. Your CineStill videos definitely make me want to try their film! Great job Dakota!
I definitely love their film. && I'm glad they help you want to shoot me. Thanks for watching!
