Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Kodak Tri-X Pan is a high-speed panchromatic film (ISO 400) ideal for photographing dimly lit subjects or fast action. It also works well for photographing subjects that require good depth of field and fast shutter speeds, and for extending the distance range for flash pictures. This black-and-white film is recommended for push-processing applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, March 28, 2001

Tri-X has been around in one form or another for a very long time. It is Kodak's most popular Black and White film, which probably says a lot right there. It's not the sharpest or finest grained film on the market, but a lot of people like it's "Look."

My recommendation is to rate this film no faster than ISO/320 if you want decent shadow detail. Many prefer to rate it at 200, but that depends on what developer you're going to use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Versatile High Speed Black and White Film, August 9, 2001

This classic Kodak high speed black and white film still holds its own against its newer competitors because of its versatility. It is one of the few films that can be easily pushed and yet still retain much of its shadow detail. However, it isn't the best; I believe Ilford HP5 Plus is better than Tri-X for shadow detail and contrast. And of course Kodak T-MAX 400 and Ilford Delta 400 are vastly superior with regards to shadow detail and contrast. Still, one can't go wrong using this high speed black and white film; a classic that is still worth using.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grainy but forgiving, August 16, 2001

By 

John (New England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kodak Tri-X Pan 400 36 Exposure Black & White 35mm Film (Electronics)

This film is classic stuff. A bit grainy, but extremely forgiving of questionable exposure times and screwy processing conditions and therefore great for a darkroom knucklehead like me. Plus, it's cheap and readily available; in this color-oriented day and age, few other B&W films are either.
