Customer Reviews

I didn't know low light photography was possible in 19505
I have used Tri-X Pan at EI 3200 and even 6400, developed in Rodinol. Tri-X was introduced in the 1950's, Rodinol in the 1890's. Such a combination produces low-light performance that is quite remarkable. Now we have T-Max 3200, which has much greater speed, but was not introduced until the 1980's.
In the 1950's, 1960's, and to some extent 1970's, if you wanted to shoot in dim light, it was Tri-X Pan.

Grainy but forgiving5
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.

Versatile High Speed Black and White Film4
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.
