Analogue Adventures – Part 35: Kodak Eastman Double-X 200

2 weeks ago 5

The nice thing about this series: sometimes very unexpected things happen. A friend from Hong Kong sent me a roll of Eastman Double-X 200 black and white film. The regular readers already know I am not a huge fan of black and white film, but they also know I could never resist using a film I haven’t used before, so here we are. This did not end how I expected it to though.
Processing and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany, the pictures in this article are from one roll of film.

You may be wondering what is going on here. It looks like the film might have not been “ideally” stored and also that Hong Kong’s high humidity lead to some mold on it. Or to quote the lab: no idea where you managed to find that film, but it was in bad condition and hard to scan.

I will still show you what I tried to salvage from these scans, so follow me on this unique journey through Hamburg!

My name is Bastian and I am your expert here when it comes to ultra wide angle lenses, super fast portrait lenses (ranging from a 50mm f/0.95 to a 200mm f/1.8) and I also have reviewed way too many 35mm lenses. Don't ask me anything about macro or wildlife shooting though.
