Motion Picture Film: There ist no remjetlayer, the film can therefore be delivered to the lab as normal black and white film. The sample images were developed in Kodak D-76, which comes closest to Kodak D-96, which was specially designed for Double-X. Furthermore, D-76 ensures a fine grain. HC-110, on the other hand, makes the film look even grainier. Here you can find a very in depth comparison between Double-X in Rodinal vs. D-76 vs. D-96.
