The Lab's Honest Talk:

This film is carefully bulk-loaded by hand right here in our Berlin-Wedding lab. Please note: while this is a 250 ISO film, these specific cassettes are DX-coded at 200 ISO. If you are shooting with a fully automatic point-and-shoot camera, it will automatically rate the film at 200. This slight overexposure is actually fantastic for Double-X, as it helps bring out more detail in the shadows! If you use a fully manual camera, you can set your meter to 250 or rate it differently to experiment with its expressive monochrome tones.
