Kodak Tri-X 400 Black and White Film Review | All about Film

Kodak's Tri-X 400 dates back to the 1940s and has a robust, strong research DNA that resulted in a film with excellent image qualities, the ability to see light well into the UV range, and a tolerance for abuse that makes it possible to shoot it at virtually any realistic ISO. This video presents more than 150 sample photos developed using 24 different developer and ISO combinations over a three-year span. The results show the film working well and not so well. This video's goal is to educate and inform Kodak Tri-X 400 users and help them recognize what the film can and cannot do.
