Film Nerdiness incoming:

I hadn’t used Kodak 5222 ( Double X) in sometime so I loaded up my point and shoot for one of my trips to the plains.  I’d already decided that this emulsion is not that easy to use and get great negatives.  It is contrasty.  It is Kodak’s current offering for motion picture film in Black and White.  It is for sale and was the film stock used for the BW portions of Oppenheimer the movie.  The results were not great - don’t know if it was that the film was old, that I used HC110 or due to the point and shoot that I used ( Fujifilm Silvi 28).  I did a deeper dive into this film.  The next roll of film I will used Kodak D96 which is a low contrast developer recommended for this film.  Here were the more useable pictures that I got:
