Optik’s DBL-X 250D – 35 mm Black & White Motion-Picture Emulsion (ISO 250/25°, 36 exp)
Optik’s DBL-X 250D is a hand-spooled version of the iconic Kodak Double-X 5222 motion-picture film, reconfigured for 35 mm still cameras. With an ISO indicator of 250/25°, the film is specially adapted for daylight shooting but handles a wide range of lighting conditions. The motion-picture origin gives this emulsion a unique character: strong blacks, expressive grain, and a filmic contrast curve.
Designed for photographers who appreciate rich texture, bold tonality and cinematic aesthetic, DBL-X 250D delivers a high-contrast, dramatic black & white look. Highlights are soft-to-medium; shadows fall away into deep, rich blacks without losing presence in mid-tones. The grain structure is pronounced but controlled, lending images a mood and authenticity that set this stock apart from standard still-camera B&W films.
Because this stock originates from freshly processed motion-picture rolls and is repurposed into still-camera cassettes, there may be slight variation between batches — a departure from typical still-film consistency, but part of its appeal for creative shooters wanting a distinctive look. The film’s strong contrast and grain reward thoughtful exposure and development: pushing or pulling can enhance character, and scanning produces files that respond well to shadow recovery and highlight control.
Optik’s DBL-X 250D is ideal for street, documentary, travel, and personal fine-art work where mood, texture and tonality matter. It’s especially suited to photography where the aesthetic of motion-picture B&W — with its grain, dynamic range and depth — is desired in a still-camera format.
Key Features
- ISO 250/25° black & white film (35 mm, 36 exposures)
- Derived from Kodak Double-X 5222 motion-picture emulsion
- Daylight balanced (for 5200 K) and no rem-jet layer, suitable for standard B&W processing
- Strong contrast, expressive grain structure and deep blacks
- Cold-stored to preserve coating quality and archive stability
- Hand-spooled and still-camera ready from motion-picture heritage
Recommended Use
- Street, documentary and travel photography in B&W
- Fine-art or personal work seeking cinematic B&W texture
- Situations where contrast, grain and deep tonality are desired
- Photographers who plan to scan negatives for digital processing or print in darkroom
