How they work together

Ilfotec DD-X
Fine grain, high acutance, full film speed, normal contrast. Full emulsion speed with excellent shadow detail.
CatLABS CatLABS X Film 320 (120/Sheet)
Different emulsion from the 35mm version (which is Kodak Double-X). Origin unclear - likely aerographic stock with finer grain.
Notes on this pairing
  • Finer grain, more exposure latitude.
