In productionBW

CatLABS 320 black-and-white film in 35mm. The original hand-rolled 2019 X Film 320 carries '5222' edge markings, which indicate Kodak Double-X stock (Wikipedia list); CatLABS' current 35mm listing is X Pan 320 Pro (DX coded, 36 exposures), described as having a very wide latitude and variable grain and contrast depending on development. Its 120 version is a separate listing.

Reciprocity failure

No official data available. The manufacturer hasn't published reciprocity specifications for this film.

For long exposures, try starting with a 1.3 exponent (t' = t1.3) as a baseline and bracket your shots. This is a reasonable middle ground that works for many films.

CatLABS' X Pan 320 Pro page publishes no reciprocity figures; none are given here. Bracket long exposures.
