Kodak Professional Tri-X 400 is perhaps the most iconic black and white film in history, defined by its rugged versatility and the timeless “documentary look” it helped create. A favorite of photojournalists and street photographers for decades, Tri-X is celebrated for its distinctive grain structure, high contrast, and incredible flexibility in the darkroom. Whether you are shooting in a dimly lit jazz club or under the high-contrast sun of a city street, Tri-X 400 delivers a gritty, soulful aesthetic that remains the gold standard for analog storytelling.
Classic High-Speed Performance
The “Tri-X Look”: Characterized by notable edge sharpness and a beautiful, organic grain, this film produces images with a powerful sense of texture and depth.
Exceptional Exposure Latitude: One of Tri-X’s most famous traits is its “forgiveness.” It handles extreme highlights and deep shadows with ease, making it a reliable choice for unpredictable lighting conditions.
Push Processing Power: While it has a nominal speed of ISO 400, Tri-X is legendary for its ability to be “pushed” to ISO 800, 1600, or even 3200. This makes it a powerhouse for low-light photography, where it gains even more contrast and a more pronounced grain.
Sharpness and Resolution
High Resolving Power: Despite its high speed, Tri-X maintains impressive clarity, allowing for crisp details in your subjects and high-quality enlargements.
Consistent Tonality: The panchromatic emulsion ensures a natural and smooth grayscale rendition, providing a wide range of tones from brilliant whites to deep, inky blacks.
Standard Chemistry: It responds beautifully to almost any black and white developer, with classic combinations like Kodak D-76 or HC-110 yielding the signature results photographers have loved for generations.
Professional 35mm Format
36-Exposure Roll: This single roll provides 36 frames, giving you plenty of room to work through a scene or capture a full day of street shooting.
Acetate Base: The durable base material ensures the film stays flat and handles easily during loading, shooting, and the scanning or printing process.
