Flic Film Double-X - 35mm Black & White Negative Film
Hollywood's secret weapon, now available for your considerably less glamorous photography. Kodak Eastman Double-X (released as Flic Film Double-X) is a high-speed panchromatic black and white negative film that's been used in cinema for decades (think Schindler's List, Raging Bull, and countless other films that look better than your holiday snaps). Re-spooled by Flic Film for 35mm still photography, this emulsion delivers very high sharpness, a broad tonal range, and fine grain structure. It's the film stock that makes everything look slightly more important than it actually is. Magic.
What Makes Flic Film Double-X Good
ISO 250 (Daylight) / ISO 200 (Tungsten) - Versatile speed that handles most lighting conditions with ease. Fast enough for handheld shooting, slow enough to maintain that gorgeous fine grain.
Very High Sharpness - This film was designed for the big screen, so it captures detail like it matters. Because it does.
Broad Tonal Range - Rich blacks, clean highlights, and everything in between. The kind of tonal graduation that makes you zoom in just to appreciate the midtones.
Fine Grain Structure - Smooth and clean for a higher-speed black and white film. Your images will look refined, not gritty (unless that's what you're going for).
Panchromatic - Sensitive to the full spectrum of visible light, rendering colours as natural-looking grayscale tones. No weird red-channel surprises.
No DX Code - Ironically absent on a film literally called "Double-X." Set your ISO manually to 250 (or 200 for tungsten). Consider it homage to the cinema roots.
Best For
Everything, honestly. Portraits, street photography, landscapes, studio work, outdoor shooting, and pretending you're a cinematographer even though you're just photographing your mate at the pub.
For recommended results, develop with D-96 monobath developer. But it's not essential.
Perfect for photographers who want cinema-quality tonality and sharpness without needing a film crew or craft services budget.
