Tri-X Pan 1989 | Vintage B&W Film

Kodak Tri-X Pan is a legendary black-and-white film cherished for its classic grain structure, high contrast, and exceptional tonal range. The batch we acquired was old new stock. It expired in 1989, and offers a unique aesthetic characterized by an unpredictable charm that only aged film can provide. The grain is a touch more pronounced, and contrast shifts are likely. Although this film was originally rate at 400 ISO we determined through our test that the film produces the best results when shot at 100 ISO and developed normal.
