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.

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.

Very grainy
I thought I was going to like Tri-X more than I did. I found the grain to be too invasive, but these things are all stylistic choices I suppose. Maybe I need to try a different developer.
Delivery was reasonably fast and very well packed. Tri-X for me is unrivalled black and white 35mm film. The contrasty look is right up my street and the grain is very fine.

Contrast!
The obvious comparison to make is to Ilford HP5. Tri-X is grainier and has significantly more contrast. I didn't quite realise just HOW contrasty it would be when I shot it so I didn't really take it into account, so some of my photos look very different to how I imagined them. Still, that's my fault really. I will continue to use HP5 as my main black and white, but thats just personal preference.
