: Kodak 5222 aka double x
: ShivaYash April 23, 2016, 03:49:19 PM

Hello chaps

I'm in India right now and may be getting my hands on some of this film. What should I expose it at, and can it be developed in d76 one-shot?

I want grain and tone.

Thanks.

D76 is the finest developer for this film. You should be processing with rodinal or something a little chunkier.

this is at 400 with rodinal

I shot a couple of rolls some years ago. I exposed it at 200 ISO and processed with Barry Thornton two bath developer. If you plan to enlarge, the Kodak 5222 will give you big grain - too much nasty for my taste, but if you will scan it could give you contrasty images.

Some examples

im not sure it really matters. as long as its all exposed properly then it should have a similar look.

this was 1/30th F2

Panchromatic films shouldn't care much about the color of light (sunlight vs indoor lighting), so the 200 iso should be good. I am not familiar enough with this emulsion to make a guess at reciprocity failure in dim light though. You might want to either push the development or lower your EI for dim light.

Hello!

I've shot only one roll.  I developed it with ID-11, so it's nearly what you are looking for.
I put some pics in one essay here:

Good luck!

I picked up 300 feet for £65 but it was a bit out of date, theses were stand developed in Rodinal for 2 hours not sure i will use this development again but i do like the results

It depends on the look you want for your images, but, probably, stand development plus Rodinal helped to arose the grain in these photos. A developer such as Microphen -or ID68, if you prefer to prepare yourself your chemistry- could help to obtain less grainier images.

That said, I think grain in the superb dogs photo is key to generate the precise atmosphere.

It's been discussed here before: http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=7429.msg96146#msg96146 (http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=7429.msg96146#msg96146) Oh, those were your dev times SLVR. :)

ah nice! I had forgotten I posted these time to copy to other people asking for times. It seems I'm lazy these days!

I'm going to try Rodinal again but not stand I also have some ID11 which I'll try
