I'd been curious to try this film for a while so took the plunge. Can't fault it for it's punchy look, if you like black and white on the contrasty side.
Probably my favourite black and white film, but at 3x the cost of capable budget alternatives, it can be difficult to justify the price. That said, the film has some halation on the highlights which offer a dreamy look, especially in the morning fog.
I was pretty happy with this film. It seemed to give especially interesting and moody results when there was light strong directional coming into the shot, especially towards the lens. This may be due of the lack of the remjet layer leading to halation, but I liked the results regardless of the reason why! In subdued light, I found it competent and still quite high contrast. I think it looks very similar to Tri-X. Shot on my Zenit TTL with a Helios 44M at 400 ISO and AW lab pushed it for me (thanks! :D ).
During this summer I intended to take photos of old aircraft, military vehicles and vintage farm machinery. I decided that B&W film would be a good choice of medium to try a convey a sense of age, so I decided on the 35mm Cinestill BWXX as I has seen some good reviews. I have been very pleased with the results. The film has very fine grain and tonal range. The processed results when scanned had slightly less contrast than my preference so I have added some contrast after scanning. I now intend to try this film in medium format.
Although it was slightly more grainy than I expected, the quality of this film is excellent. It's quite forgiving in terms of exposure, giving plenty of detail and a good contrast range.
