About this film
Kodak Tri-X 400 135/36 is black-and-white film rated at ISO 400 in 135 format with 36 exposures.
Image character
Classic cubic grain, strong edge sharpness, wide latitude and recognisable documentary contrast.
Best uses
Street, documentary, portrait, music and historically expressive B&W photography.
Practical advice
It pushes well. Box speed gives the fullest tonal range, while EI 800–1600 increases grain and drama.
Processing: standard B&W processing. I recommend labelling the actual EI and any push/pull or scanning requests before handing the film to a lab.
