Kodak Double-X, Photo Warehouse?

[Danner]

Just stumbled onto Photo Warehouse Ultrafine website, and they have all kinds of film-friendly products, including their own Kodak Double-X 100' rolls. Interesting to say the least.

Anybody dealt with them or used this film?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I haven't used their double-x bulk rolls, but they're legit. Their Ultrafine Extreme films are well liked by some people (I liked the 100).

 

[Danner]

Thanks. I'm guessing their private label films are Foma?

I've not used that particular film, but have patronized the company - I have had good experiences with them.

the Xtreme was not foma, most likely the same film that is apx 100 and 400, kentmere and one other i cant remember. it was very good especially in 120 but is not in stock and more than likely wont be coming back

Kodak will be happy to sell you Double X in 400 or 1000 ft rolls. Photo warehouse and FFP both spool that down in 100 ft rolls for the convenience of still Photographers.

(BH1866 is the normal Movie perforations that all of this stock comes with)

I buy my 5222-XX from FPP. 100' rolls. Very nice look, reminiscent of Tri-X from the 1970's. I shot a roll last week.

I have not bought a long roll of Double X, just bought a roll of Finesse 100, I quite like it and it's about 1/2 the price of Double X and it is available in either ISO 100 or 400. My testing pegged 100 at 200. Ultrafine extream has been out of stock for quite a while.

Hi Dan
PW/Ultrafine are a sponsor of this website
they have been around for decades and are great to deal with.
I've never used that particular film, but have bought a ton of paper from PW over the years.

Good Luck!
John

Their Extreme line is a varient of Ilford's Kentmere film, their new Finess line is rebadged Foma.
Ive bought from them before, theyre pretty quick to ship. Check out their Etsy site here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Ultrafine...me&listing_id=1000586265&sort_order=price_asc, they sell some of their films there in packs & ship with usps through there.

I also blame them for having an etsy cuz it fed my "need to shoot slide film" phase cuz Ive bought more expired slide film from them than I initially wanted

Thanks for all the replies. I did place an order for some metal, reloadable, film cassettes. As I have a good stock of film in the freezer just now, going hold of on the Double X, but will try it at some point in the future.

Cheers...
