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.

Lovely B&W film stock
Kodak Tri-X is a legendary black-and-white film that has defined the look of classic photography for decades. With its distinctive grain, wide exposure latitude, and rich tonal range, it delivers a timeless, gritty aesthetic that’s perfect for street, documentary, and portrait work alike. Rated at ISO 400, Tri-X handles varied lighting beautifully and pushes well up to 1600 without losing its signature texture. It’s a film that rewards bold contrast and honest moments — a true staple for photographers who love character over perfection.
I’ve shot 2 rolls of 36 exposure Kodak Tri-X 400 in 2025, one in July & one in October.
The shots in July were sunny and bright conditions and the October ones were mostly overcast, drizzly or dark, in both conditions the film gave good results.
One I’ll shoot again I’m sure 📸

Tri-x 400
Shot my first roll of tri-x 400 last month and was pleased with the contrast, the grain gives it a gritty look which I can appreciate, but isn’t for me as I prefer a softer look

Solid all-rounder
Was happy with the landscape and street photography results I got from this. Some shots came out quite grainy, but I honestly don't mind that aesthetic. With some more getting used to how this film behaves, I think I might grow to love it.

Excellent film stock with stunning contrast producing proper blacks and manages to retain detail in both highlights and shadows. It is an iconic film stock which I found myself using for Portraits and street photography.
