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.

          has very noble grain with authentic rendition, very useful for artistic documentary photography. let's say little bit old - looking image, with certified quality

                A great low price for an excellent product. I used film to shoot some outdoor scenes on a trip to Maryland and I did not encounter any difficulty or malfunctioning. This item has more capacity than previous product I have purchased at other stores.

                  I've used this film for my school's photography program for a few years now. It definitely allows a clear transition from the camera to a print with enough room for alterations to make a statement out of a photograph.

                      Wonderful film. I like punchy negs so tend to overexpose just a little, but this flexible film has plenty of latitude.

                                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
                                Mike Peal

                                  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.
