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!
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.

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.

A brilliant staple for starting out with b&w film photography. Amazing contrast and grain. Tried out my first roll with an Olympus Trip 35 and now can't wait to experiment with it using my Canon Ftb.

If you are looking for the perfect film, this is not the right film for you. It's grainy, it's high contrast but... at the same time, it's the absolute myth in the history of photography. Go for it if the imperfections are part of your Art, and if you want the "real thing" of analogue black and white photography.

One reason why people worship this stuff
The lady over the door of the church up Cley in Norfolk's been there for yonks and she's getting a bit weathered by the lazy winds like the rest of the building.
Tri-X seems to work a treat on anything with a bit of texture. Works well for your bank balance too with 29pc off.
This was on a Nikon FM2 and 85mm lens.

Shoot this to understand why it is a classic
Classic and versatile. I have shot this film at box speed and pushed 1 & 2 stops with consistent results. Easy to develop and scan at home too.
