Kodak Tri-X 35mm is a truly legendary film. Kodak Tri-X emulsion was first introduced in 1940 in sheet film, making it over 80 years old 🤩
Now at a low everyday price!
Key to its longevity has been its flexibility - photographers can take TriX 35mm into a variety of lighting situations and recover highlights and shadows or generate different grain feel through processing choices.
It has been the first choice for many top photographers over its lifespan - in fact when Kodak went through bankruptcy and restructuring in 2012 Don McCullin panic-bought 150 rolls of Kodak Tri-X in case it didn't survive the turmoil! Fortunately for Mr McCullin and every other photographer, Tri-X did survive and is still available fresh in both 35mm and 120 formats.
Features:
- Classic medium speed black and white film - Suitable for all types of photography - Fine grain structure and great sharpness - Incredible tonal range and excellent grey scale definition
Benefits:
- Create beautiful photos suitable for enlargement - Connect with the history of 20th Century photojournalism - Achieve amazing results indoors or outdoors, no matter the light condition - Vintage feel to your shots
Kodak - properly known as Kodak Eastman - was founded in America in 1888 and dominated the "Western" world of photography for the next 100 years, constantly in fierce rivalry with the Japanese Fuji. Similarly to Fuji the advent of digital photography at the turn of the century caused significant financial problems. A late attempt to win in the compact market was hit by the rise of mobile photography and bankruptcy followed in 2012. Fortunately the photography business has survived under the Kodak Alaris name - based in Hertfordshire, England - and they have delighted the analogue industry by pledging continued support for film production and the promise of bringing back old favourite emulsions.

Growing on me
I didn't like this film at first. Not sure why, just didn't know how to handle it.
But now it's growing on me. I think I'll stick to 120 on this film though, for less noticeable grain.

Great film at the price
Great film with good contrast and details, but retaining the ‘old’ look

Los disparé con el viejo Tri-X*
Loved the buskers in their Mexican get-up giving it a bit of the old Flamenco vibe in King's Lynn.
Gave it a go with the old Tri-X and it turned out kind of noisy but fun - a bit like the three amigos.
*TRANS: I shot these on good old Tri-X.

Classic tone
A classic tone, though I had to get used to exposing and developing correctly. 1940 saw the release of this film and many well known photographers (so not me) have used it since. If anything I would probably overexposed by 1 stop with this film but that's me personally.

Great pushed film
So far I have only used this film once and I pushed it to 1600 and I am so so happy with the results, definitely a great film to push.
