Kodak Professional Tri-X 400 Black and White Negative Film (35mm, 36 Exp.)
Kodak Professional Tri-X 400 is perhaps the most iconic black and white film in history, defined by its rugged versatility and the timeless “documentary look” it helped create. A favorite of photojournalists and street photographers for decades, Tri-X is celebrated for its distinctive grain structure, high contrast, and incredible flexibility in the darkroom. Whether you are shooting in a dimly lit jazz club or under the high-contrast sun of a city street, Tri-X 400 delivers a gritty, soulful aesthetic that remains the gold standard for analog storytelling.

Classic High-Speed Performance
The “Tri-X Look”: Characterized by notable edge sharpness and a beautiful, organic grain, this film produces images with a powerful sense of texture and depth.

Exceptional Exposure Latitude: One of Tri-X’s most famous traits is its “forgiveness.” It handles extreme highlights and deep shadows with ease, making it a reliable choice for unpredictable lighting conditions.

Push Processing Power: While it has a nominal speed of ISO 400, Tri-X is legendary for its ability to be “pushed” to ISO 800, 1600, or even 3200. This makes it a powerhouse for low-light photography, where it gains even more contrast and a more pronounced grain.

Sharpness and Resolution
High Resolving Power: Despite its high speed, Tri-X maintains impressive clarity, allowing for crisp details in your subjects and high-quality enlargements.

Consistent Tonality: The panchromatic emulsion ensures a natural and smooth grayscale rendition, providing a wide range of tones from brilliant whites to deep, inky blacks.

Standard Chemistry: It responds beautifully to almost any black and white developer, with classic combinations like Kodak D-76 or HC-110 yielding the signature results photographers have loved for generations.

Professional 35mm Format
36-Exposure Roll: This single roll provides 36 frames, giving you plenty of room to work through a scene or capture a full day of street shooting.

Acetate Base: The durable base material ensures the film stays flat and handles easily during loading, shooting, and the scanning or printing process.

Nicholas ★★★★★

The grain structure on this batch is incredibly tight, even when I push it to 800, and the contrast in harsh midday light is exactly what I wanted.

Ella U. ★★★★★

Been shooting Tri-X for years and this latest batch has the same beautiful grain structure I rely on for street photography. The 36 exposures give me plenty of frames to work with before reloading, and the contrast holds up perfectly even in tricky afternoon light.

Owen N. ★★★★★

Shot my first roll of Tri-X at box speed on an overcast afternoon and the contrast in the shadows genuinely surprised me — deep blacks without losing detail in the highlights. Thirty-six frames went by way too fast, and I already have another roll loaded.
