This is genuinely the best video I've ever seen showing the results of an interesting film used with interesting developers. I congratulate you on your artistic as well as your technical skills, sir. I am impressed.

Nice set of images. 👍

One of the reasons I started using my Nikon f3 is because of your channel. Your patience, your visual creativity and teaching is a breath of fresh air on KZfaq

Wonderful discussion and beautiful photos !

The photograph at 3:39 is really beautiful. These are all timeless!

Honestly, incredible set of images, and very important to share at a time like this. Subscribed immediately, great photographer.

I ordered a roll of Double-X. Can't wait to begin shooting it. On the other hand it is very sad to know that these two nations are now in a devastating situation and killing one another. You took really great pictures, I really appreciated it.

Incredibly sharp & well composed photos in Israel. Have myself wondered about such a photo trip but backed away because of the local tension. Very interesting photos taken in orthodox neighborhoods. ❤❤😊

This channel is so underrated. Thank you for your content. Congrats on great content. I'm proud owner of Nikon FM2n because of your videos on it.

Inspiring. Thank you.

Dear Steven, Thank you for your beautiful stories. There’s so much life in your photos! You have also made a wonderful and smart design of your video, which is really unique on KZfaq. Thank you for letting the World know you! Best wishes!

This is the best video on Double-X on the internet. Also, this is one of the best photography videos! Thank you!

You have a great eye for composition and light.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to share your photography. Keep up the good work.

Love your videos. Beautiful pictures, relaxing music, very instructive and inspirational. I currently use Rodinal 1:50 with HP5+ and have "embraced the grain"......but certainly interesting to see some very good alternatives. Thank-you!!!

Incredible photos sir and very informative video.

Steven ; hello , I have not purchased the rest of equipment to roll my own film , I saw this film in Bay , I will look again. Still learning my lovely 50mm F2 DR , and I have also procured 3 weeks ago the Rollei Wide 55mm F4. Right now experimenting with that unit to make certain the lens is as should be. My Wide Rollei is an F , but has features that top end E bodies had. Learning that right now too. Hoe you see this message. Chris . Now I enjoy learning more here , from you.

Super video Steven. Thank you.

Thanks for excellent content, I just found your gem of a channel! Greetings from Finland.

I like Double-X in D96 1+3, with 4 inversions at 3 min intervals. I think this development method increases the sharpness, and lifts shadows without blowing out the highlights. It works particularly well at ISO 600+. It also makes an already low-cost developer even more economical.

Exceptional work, Steven! I took so many notes. Thank you! Those photos were breathtaking. Your delivery, as always, is genuine, helpful, and never condescending. I haven't had enough information to feel like I could push Double XX, but I bought some recently and have loved the results at 200/250. I'll try my next roll at 1600 after watching this.

Some of the best photos I’ve seen on here in awhile! Truly timeless 🤌🏼 keep it up

Great video, lovely images! I love double x in FX-55 myself.

Great video. Extremely inspiring. Definitely ordering a roll of this film now.

Superb! Great pictures, congratulations, and better explanation. I go to test Double-X. Arigato

Great set of photos. Never used this film. Nor will with digital. Bravo!

Great video very informative excellent coverage of the subject as a pro photographer for over 50yrs I appreciate sharing your knowledge and artistry

That shot at 4:54 with the reflection was some amazing timing on your part. Nice shots all around. Your information should be in book form. There is a lot in the video. Best wishes! God bless!

beautiful work

Amazing photos #steven and a great experience there. My favorites: 3:38, 4:23, 4:55, 12:00, 14:33, 15:05

Hi Steven, I really liked your black&white pictures. I take mostly color photos because I never managed to make the right profile, to make them come out just like yours. I photograph digitally ( on film long time ago ) and I tried to make profiles on nikon and fuji X100V.I used recipe Ilford Pan F 50 plus and I try still modify. It is similar as Double X but not yet perfect. Your photos Double X are PERFECT.

Steve your work is beautiful! I've been watching your channel for ages and even began using d23 thanks to you. Thanks for sharing your wonderful self with us.

Lovely photos and just a great, informative video Steven. I'm looking forward to trying this film.

Great video! Loved it and specially your photos

Hi Steven! Love your work! Always love watching your video and appreciate the effort you put into your photos. You are an exceptional dedicated photographer! Thank you!

Well done. Thank you.

Wau... what a set of photos. Amazing!

Incredible pictures ! You’re talented. Have been shooting tri-x for years but the price is ridiculous these days, I’ll give double X a try. Subscribed!

I recommend trying 510-Pyro and FX-55

Happy to see your new video come out. Hope you well.

Very much information , very good Steven , thank you : Chris

Your passion, talent, and knowledge of 35mm film is impressive and inspiring. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you.

I only shoot digital, I try to emulate Double X so perhaps that’s why the algorithm recommended you but I’m glad it did as this video left me spellbound. Amazing work my friend.

Your videos are great! If you ever plan on making a video about mixing D-96 like you did with D-23 I would love that. I also think your photos are great!

感谢前辈的讲解。几年前刚接触DOUBLE-X就被迷上了，当时就从您过去的视频里学到了很多实用的经验。如果只能选一款35mm胶片，绝对是它。

I really love the format of these videos, having some time to show the photographs and then some brief commentary about them is a great format. Have you tried shooting on Kodak's colour motion picture film? I recently ordered a range from 50D to 500T which I am working through at the moment. if you have other forms of social media I would follow them, maybe you should consider putting them in the description on your videos :) Thanks for the video Steven, I have no doubt you deserve a bigger audience for videos like these.

incredible work my friend! just received my first ever rolls of Kodak Vision 500T and now I am going to look into this film stock as well! Thank you for this

Lovely video full of great information. Thanks.

your videos are very inspiring.

beautiful pictures taken! thank you for the video

Steven - you always make such beautiful and insightful videos. So glad I found you channel.

Excellent work, thank you for the work you put into these videos!

Great shots and engaging story you tell

Let's freaking go

absolutly captivating story. i would love your form of making youtube videos. great stuff.

Hi Steven amazing work! お疲れ様です！Double X 今から探していますよう😅

Dude, great pictures.

Thank you for sharing this information. It is very useful for me.

Amazing video!!! Thanks 👍👏🤙🇦🇷

Excellent. Thank you.

在這個特別的時刻，您發表的這個視頻非常珍貴，展現了攝影芸術的價值。也希望和平早日來到❤

Very inspiring. I also ordered some Double X and looking forward to trying it. Usually use D76 but will try D96. Thanks for a great video as always.

Great pictures!

I have a roll of double x that's been sitting in my case for too long, I should really shoot it right away, your images are exceptional.

I wonder if I can mimic this film with Foma 100 if developed correctly. Foma has a tendency to blow highlights, so that is not going to be the same, but if exposed and developed correctly, I guess I could get close. I guess I have to experiment with this, Foma looks vintage and is less than half the price after all in Europe. :) I loved the Double-X grainy shadows which were not clipped as that can happen with my usual film of choice (HP5+) during wintertime. It'd be nice to have some latitude there.

Excellent, Thank-you ❤

stunning photos!

Love your work!

This is really thorough. I only used rodinal and tetanol ultrafin to develop 5222, neither are perfect.

Very interesting and reveals your talents as a very good photographer. Tri-X has always been my go to bnw film, but I have not shot the Kodak double film stock you shot. More motion film stocks in 35mm are now reappearing in the UK at the moment, which increases the choices for the film photographer.

Very nice video. I have been shooting with XX since 2015 and its my all purpose/street film. I use D76.

拍的真好！ 解釋得真清楚，節目做得真棒！

I first followed you on flickr not knowing you have such a great KZfaq channel. I love your work, you are amazing... thanks for the great video... I always shoot my doubleX at 250 and develop in d76 (1+1) gives me great results, I tried ddx (1+9) and it was really amazing but too expensive for everyday use... just wondering what are the black lines on the top and bottom of your Israel negative at 9:19 ? are they "light piping" effect ?

很漂亮，你的捕捉都是剛剛好的。我有使用同一個來源的5222 （從那些同款分裝筒貼紙看出來），但我從沒有這麼漂亮的影調 .\/.。 再買多十卷練一下。

Great video, thanks for sharing. You should give XTOL a try with double x. You might not like the contrast but it is my favorite developer for most B&W film.

Hi, Steven, great and informative video, will definitely give Double-X a go. Your photography work is excellent. I've recently dove deep into film photography with my NikonF3AF, and even started developing my own black and white film. I'm using X-Tol and currently loving the results. Would be happy to hear if you have any special tips for that. Appreciate your work, best wishes from Sweden!

Beautiful Jerusalem photos! I went this year in August, and I also found it a fascinating place. A question: would you have been able to take the same photos with a Nikon F3?

Hey Steven, i wanted to know if using cinema films especially colour film will in anyway affect the slr cameras, since colour cinema film is thicker.

Wonderful body of work Steven! Have you tried developing 5222 with Fujifilm Microfine?

I like your imagery but wonder why it is so unsharp. Is it the film? Or the lens? Or the focusing? I've shot a lot of film over the years and have consistently gotten much sharper imagery, so I wonder what is going on here.

催更了。。。。

Was The Elephant Man shot on 5222 B & W stock

Hey, great video! Can you say how you scan your negatives? The scans are amazing! Thanks!

你好 Steven ，请问一下你有尝试过使用　富士スーパープロドル或者ミクロファイン 冲洗过 5222吗？又便宜同时又容易购买在日本。

Did you try DF96 an all in on developer from Sine still

Hi Steve, do you know if one can bulk roll film from a 400Ft and home process? Does it have remjet issues like the color motion Kodak stock that makes home processing impossible?

原本我想直接買D-76回來加溴化鉀變成D-96，看來我想的太單純了

Mea Shearim is a wonderful place to get lost

Steven, I'm not sure if you saw this film but we shot it on 5222 Double - X kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6mmbKydp7KpfaM.html

Блин я не понимаю по английски😢

beautiful work
