DX codes are a huge pain these days as a lot of new rolls of film, especially B&W don't have them, leading to a frustrating situation on cameras which won't allow you to manually set ISO (which is a huge number of sub-professional cameras).

- woodruffw 4y agoWhich B&W stocks don't have them? Every B&W canister I've ever bought from Kodak, Fuji, and Ilford is DX-coded, and even the smaller manufacturers (like Foma) have them. The only B&W stock I've seen without a DX code is Astrum (which has come in a cheap plastic can every time I've bought it).

- kelnos 4y agoAs the video points out, the big players mostly still DX code all their film, but many of the smaller, indie (or low-end) producers don't.
