II"},"content":{"rendered":"

Regarding CatLABS, you never know what they will pull out of the bag next. Earlier this year, I reviewed their latest version of the XFilm 320 Pro<\/a> and was presently surprised with the results. While I never touched the original version (which is said to be Eastman Double-X), I did try their original version of XFilm 80<\/a>. I loved the stuff in my original review and revisiting it at ASA-32<\/a>. When I got my hands on the new 320 stuff, I grabbed a box of XFilm 80 II. And I’ve been sitting on it for a while, but during the hot days of summer finally took out my Crown Graphic and got to work. And you know, reviewing a film that comes in only sheet formats is both complicated and easy at the same time. Easy because I only have to shoot four frames, and hard because I only have four. Because of that, I only went with the listed development times instead of exploring the main body of this review. And you know, it’s incredible what you can accomplish when you focus on doing the best possible job for each frame, and you will be rewarded. And while I know this is a different stock from the original, I’m rather happy with these results.<\/p>\n
