Kodak Tri-X 400 - 120 Film

Surprisingly versatile

Got a bulk load of this a few years back and am still working my way through. Tri-X gives good contrast and strong grain profile. You can push it quite hard if you don’t mind the contrast and I love it for street and similar photos. What surprised me however is that it did a relatively good job of some landscapes with an orange filter. These were all shot on a 1955 Mamiya 6 so I feel it fits the camera well.

Always great results

I shoot all sorts of black and white films and have quite a few favourites I repeat-buy. HP5+ is reliable and good value, I love the look of Rollei Retro 400S. Tri-X is another that goes in that category. In 120 you get sharp images with a grain that never overpowers the image, but is still present, adding a lovely classic tone to the images. A recent woodland shoot showed it handling some tricky lighting conditions brilliantly (at least within the bounds of my ability to expos correctly!)

Excellent as always

Excellent packaging and speedy delivery. AW never fail to deliver plus the film stocks are excellent too.
