📸 Characteristics of Kodak Tri-X 400 Film

Kodak Professional Tri-X 400 (400TX) is a legendary, high-speed, panchromatic black-and-white film known for its classic look and exceptional versatility. It features a distinct, beautiful, yet manageable medium-to-high grain structurethat lends a timeless, "gritty" texture to images. The film delivers deep, rich blacks and a striking medium contrast while maintaining excellent detail across a wide tonal range, particularly in the highlights. Tri-X 400 is highly favored by photojournalists and street photographers due to its wide exposure latitude, which makes it incredibly forgiving with exposure errors and ideal for push-processing (shooting it at higher than box speed, often up to ISO 1600 or 3200) for use in dim lighting or to increase contrast and grain.
