Cinestill BwXX – 120 (Double-X Black & White Film)

Straight from Hollywood to your Hasselblad—CineStill BwXX 120 brings the timeless beauty of motion picture film to medium format shooters. Derived from the Kodak Eastman Double-X (5222) emulsion, this film has been used to shoot legendary works like Raging Bull, Schindler’s List, The Lighthouse, and Stranger Than Paradise.

Perfect for both studio and outdoor conditions, BwXX has a native ISO of 250 in daylight and 200 in tungsten light, but it can be pushed all the way to ISO 1600 with excellent results and processing compensation. It produces deep blacks, silky highlights, and a wide tonal spectrum, while maintaining high micro-contrast, fine grain, and razor-sharp detail.

Whether you’re channeling a cinematic noir aesthetic or just seeking beautifully rendered monochrome images with a historic touch, BwXX delivers that bold, timeless analog look.
