Tri-X is a black-and-white photographic film produced by Eastman Kodak Company and remains the world's best selling black and white film. It is appreciated for its wide exposure latitude and classic grain structure. The combination of smaller 35mm cameras and high speed Tri-X film was transformative for photojournalism.
Introduced around 1940 in sheets rated at ASA daylight 200 and tungsten 160, it was one of Kodak's first high-speed (for the time) black-and-white films. Tri-X was released in 35mm and 120 in 1954. Currently it is available in two speeds, ISO 320/26° (320TXP) and 400/27° (400TX). Tri-X 400 is the more common of the two, available in 24- and 36-exposure rolls of 35 mm and rolls of 120 as well as 50 and 100 ft bulk rolls of 35mm. Tri-X 320 is available in 4×5", 5×7", and 8×10" sheets.
Tri-X 400 is usually rated at ISO 400 when processed in standard developers and remains among the fastest black-and-white films today. Push processing Tri-X to EI 800 in a standard developer yields very good results, while further pushing to EI 1600 requires more sophisticated processing. A popular method for pushing Tri-X film is using highly diluted developers with little or no agitation and extended development times. This method which is referred to as "stand" or "semi-stand" development, can allow the film to be pushed to speeds up to EI 3200 or 6400.
Black and white, often abbreviated B/W or B&W, and hyphenated black-and-white when used as an adjective, is any of several monochrome forms in visual arts.
Black-and-white images are not usually starkly contrasted black and white. They combine black and white in a continuum producing a range of shades of gray. Further, many monochrome prints in still photography, especially those produced earlier in its development, were in sepia (mainly for archival stability), which yielded richer, subtler shading than reproductions in plain black-and-white.
Some popular black-and-white media of the past include:
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations.
Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization promotes worldwide proprietary, industrial and commercial standards. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and as of 2013 works in 164 countries.
It was one of the first organizations granted general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, is an independent, non-governmental organization, the members of which are the standards organization of the 164 member countries. It is the world's largest developer of voluntary international standards and facilitates world trade by providing common standards between nations. Nearly twenty thousand standards have been set covering everything from manufactured products and technology to food safety, agriculture and healthcare.

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.

Active Captures back and this time we're here to showcase the differences between Kodak Tri-X and HP5+, two major contenders in the black and white arena. Come along for the ride with Miranda, Rheannon and their Minolta X-570 cameras while we shoot in downtown Healdsburg, CA and explore some of the cooler pockets of the town.

http://theartofphotography.tv Last week I did a little experiment that I wanted to show you in this video. Kodak Tri-X is an excellent film - probably one of the most popular b+w film types of all time. What I like about Tri-X is the versatility and the different looks you can get depending on how you shoot with it. A few episodes back we talked about pushing and pulling film. If you missed it, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PODXxQavuYs Today we're going to push Tri-X to an extreme. Tri-X is rated at 400 iso, but I metered the whole roll at 6400. This is a 4 stop push and I wasn't sure this would work or not. I processed the film as a stand development in Rodinal 1:100 for 2 hours. I agitated for the first minute and then let it stand. Every 30 minutes I would give...
Kodak Tri-X is the great-grandfather of black and white negative film available today. It's the film I've been shooting the longest, and it's still my go-to black and white film stock.

In this episode, I talk about my switch from my go-to film, Kodak Tri-X, to all of the black and white options over at Ilford.

Shot a roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 pushed to 1600 on my newly aquired Fujifilm Klasse W point and shoot. I love the results from this film pushed.

http://TAVPhotography.com Instagram: @TAV_Photography https://www.instagram.com/tav_photography/ So it's been a few weeks of just shooting film now (for personal projects) and I just wanted to share my experiences and show some of the photos I've taken so far. This 'new' (old) direction has definitely been challenging in an exciting way and I can't recommend it enough for any of you who might be interested in shooting film.
