Kodak Tri-x 400 Film Features(Bulk Film)















Kodak Tri-X 400 (Bulk Film)

The Kodak company has been producing Tri-X for more than 50 years. It is originally designed for film making. Tri-X is the black-and-white choice of many professional, master photographers as well as amateurs (Ansel Adams is one of its big fans, as he had been using it for over 20 years) for its outstanding features:-

•High Speed Film, suitable for various environment, and can handle with push and pull processing.
•Traditional emulsion, fine grain, ideal for producing high-quality images.
•Wide exposure latitude, incredible tonal range and outstanding maintainability with overexposure and underexposure

Why Bulk Loading Film?
Bulk loading film is always an economical choice. I have been using bulk loading films for years.

What are the drawbacks?
(Technically, it is hard to distinguish the differences with the naked eye.)
•Compare to the original roll film, the bulk film base density is thicker.
•Contrast is relatively high.

In conclusion, cheaper in price, overall excellent performance, bulk film is still highly recommended.
