![]() ![]() Since the advent of digital photography, Tri-X has all but fallen out of use in newspaper journalism, though it remains popular in documentary journalism. Its sales declined in the 1970s and 1980s due to the falling price and increasing popularity of color film. Kodak data-sheets once recommended different processing times depending on where the film was manufactured. It was manufactured by Eastman Kodak in the U.S., Kodak Canada, and Kodak Ltd in the UK. Tri-X panchromatic film was once one of the most popular films used by photojournalists and many amateurs. 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. A popular method for pushing Tri-X film is using highly diluted developers with little or no agitation and extended development times. Push processing Tri-X to a higher "exposure index" of EI 800 in a standard developer yields very good results, while further pushing to EI 1600 requires more sophisticated processing. Tri-X 400 is usually rated at ISO 400 when processed in standard developers and remains among the fastest black and white films today. 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 35 mm. ![]() Tri-X was released in 35 mm and 120 formats in 1954. 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. The combination of hand held cameras and high speed Tri-X film was transformative for photojournalism and for cinema. Since 2013 it is distributed by Kodak Alaris which controls the Kodak Professional product line under which it is grouped. Development times and recommended developers will be coming in the near future and will generally be depended on the Iso Shot and the Contrast desired.īleach Bypassing Can Also be recommended and will add Density to the Negative the Equivilant of Roughly 1 Stop- 2 Stops of extra exposureĮ6 Cross Processing is not recommended and results in Blank Negatives.Tri-X is a black and white photographic film produced by the Eastman Kodak Company. This Film Can Be developed as a standard Black and White Film Using Standard B&W Developers and Fixers. For Home Development in C-41, this film benefits from reduced Bleach and Fixing Times due to the thin emulsion and the standard for ECP-2D processing, Bleach and Fix times can be Safely Reduced by Half and fixing is complete when the film base appears clear or with a slight blue cloudiness that will disappear when dry. Standard C-41, this film is safe for processing in Standard lab Processors. Film Can Be Developed in a Few Different ways: It Can also be used for other experimental darkroom uses such as photograms. This Film can Be used to make Black and White Positives also from Black and White or Color Negative Film. This film can be used under a Dim Kodak 13/Dark Yellow Safelight. it is generally recommended to use a color enlarging head to help achieve correct color balance the same way as RA-4 printing. This Film Can be Used To Create Positive copies of Negative film by contact printing your negative film on top of the Vision film and exposing with an enlarger. When Shooting with an Orange Filter it is recommended to expose an extra stop or 2 Higher at roughly ISO 1. A filter Between a Yellow and an Orange Filter will Cut down on the Blue Cast for a More Natural Color look. Images can be Developed in C41 and then Scanned/converted to Black and White for a Neutral look.įiltered: This is the Preferred Method of shooting this Film. When Developed color the images will have a very Heavy Blue Cast with Pops of Color such as Yellow. ![]() Unfiltered: When shot Unfiltered this film can be exposed between ISO 3-6 and then developed in C41 or B&W. When exposing in Camera a couple of methods can be used No Reciprocity correction from 1/10-1/3000 second ![]() Standard Development in ECP-2D But Can be Developed C41 or B&Wĭarkroom Safelight Kodak 13 Filter/Dark Yellow ISO This Film Has an ISO range Between 1-6 ISO depending on Filtration. The Second is to use it in camera to Capture images the same as regular Negative film Film Specs USESįirstly there is two main uses for this film, One which is making Positive Duplicates from Negatives which is essentially The Films intended use. This Page will help give you some examples and Techniques that you can use with this Film. Its Generally not made for use in Cameras and therefore can lead to some interesting effects and experimentation. This Film stock is a Very Popular Film stock used to make Release Prints for Projection in Cinemas. ![]()
