Description
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.

It's gritty, contrasty, grainy
I love Tri-x for its character. It's grainy, contrasty and gives flavour to my photos in a way that I don't think Ilford films match. Also, you can push it a stop or tow which just brings out those characteristics more.

The quintessential Black and White film
I have used Tri-X for over 30 years and no other film stock compares. I had a long break in that time, as the cost spiralled out of my reach, and used HP5+ instead. Recently the price differential has levelled to a point where I thought, why not shoot Tri-X again. I was not disappointed and as I have plenty of prior experience with Kodak's best loved emulsion, it was just like coming home. Skin tones are where I notice it most. There is a subtlety that has to be seen to be believed. I definitely will be using Tri-X as my go to film for all my needs. I rate it at ei200 and develop in Ilfotec HC 1:49. It is my all time favorite film bar none.

The absolute best BNW for street photography!
It's slightly grainy, but in all the good ways, and still great latitude and for me, it's the best BNW for street photography!

Tri-Xceptional as usual
It might have a rich heritage for a reason. Don McCullin and all that.
Yet it still punches above its weight these days.
I should probably shoot more of this as it more than suits a lot of my bread and butter stuff up the Norfolk coast.
It just loves gritty, muddy landscapes.

Traditional and versatile
Initially, I didn't get on with Tri-X film at all, but I've realised that it is a very good film - it just needs a little practice!
