I've forever been on the hunt for a black and white film that I'm truly, madly in love with; and while CineStill bwXX comes really close, I'd like to think that the Ilford Delta lineup of film is still more my taste.
But with that said, I can't really find any sort of major fault with CineStill bwXX as it's more or less a film designed for cinema and repackaged for 35mm still film camera consumption. Photographers that want the look of some really classic old time cinema may really enjoy what CineStill bwXX. Is it sharp? It can be. Is it grainy? Oh yeah. Does it have those deeply inky blacks that I really enjoy? Heck yes. In fact, photographers who like to take their images and max the contrast after a black and white conversion will really enjoy CineStill bwXX. The film also pushes decently well and most of all, I feel like it has a distinct look vs Kodak T-Max, Tri-x, and much of what Ilford offers out there. . thephoblographer.com
