This is my standard film. I was an early adopter when Royal Pan came out and since it morphed into Tri-x, I never have used anything else (except for Ilford 3200 when needed)....Read complete review
This is my standard film. I was an early adopter when Royal Pan came out and since it morphed into Tri-x, I never have used anything else (except for Ilford 3200 when needed). Tri-x produces sharp images, good tones, acceptable grain and is infinitely forgiving of my failures to expose it properly. When I travel, I tend to set my exposure and distance and shoot when images present themselves. That can produce a wild variation in light and shadow. Tri-x allows that. Cold and heat seem to have no effect on the film and it never has fogged when I've been unable to win a hand search at an airport. Another virtue: processing is simple. No special techniques or tricks. Even unibath in the Congo at some unknown temperature works.

Comments about Kodak TX 135-36 Tri-X Pan Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
I am a retired (most of the time)Photo-Journalist, Documentary/Street Photographer, with a background in the military and Commercial photography.
I am seventy-five years old and have used Tri-X for...let me see,how old is Tri-X? Yeah that long.
It's performance has been, as always, right on the money. I now send my film out to be processed and printed and find almost as good a photograph being made as I could do.
Thanks

Im taking a black and white basic photography class and this works perfect. I feel like it's hard to mess up while trying to process the negatives. All you need for a 35 mm b&w pictures.

Comments about Kodak TX 135-36 Tri-X Pan Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
I just started a photography course where 35mm film was required. This seems to work very well even with my 30+ year old camera.
I've already developed and seen 2 rolls of film and there seem to be no problems (at least none caused by the film)
I've also been able to get more than the 36 exposures, which is always fun to see after you've developed the roll. Id I load the camera correctly, I have been able to get up to 39 so far without problems.
I would just be cautious when handling because it can scratch with relative ease.

Comments about Kodak TX 135-36 Tri-X Pan Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
This film has been great. I'm using this film in my introduction to black and white film - understanding photography - class this semester. It has been very forgiving when doing prints and doing different exposures while in the dark room.
I suggest this film for people who aren't confident in their processing and printing skills yet, as it is very forgiving for beginners.

This was my first time buying film (for a basic photo class) so I can't say I have the most informed opinion! Seemed like a great all-purpose film and worked fine for me.

Comments about Kodak TX 135-36 Tri-X Pan Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
I use it for black and white portraits, macros,and day social events. This particular film brings out rich blacks, when playing with the F-stops( to my liking). I don't have any negative comments, because I haven't messed around enough with this film,lol. if I do find a glitch, I will point it out though.
For night photography, don't forget your external flash, as it makes it harder to deal with light.

Comments about Kodak TX 135-36 Tri-X Pan Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
I use this film for my photography II class. It's great to develop and work with if you've got access to a dark room and chemicals. I love to take family photos with this film. I would not reccommend buying this unless you're certain you're exploring a career or hobby in photography.
