Kodak Tri-X reversal film 7266

tri-x is a black and white reversal film suitable for general interior photography with artificial light. It can be used in daylight too and is particularly useful for action pictures taken at regular speed or slow motion in weak light (overcast sky or late in the day). tri-x is characterized by excellent tonal gradation and sharpness. in daylight it has an iso of 200 and 160 under tungsten.

this classic straight 8 demonstrates how good tri-x can look when shot in low-light and in bright daylight. check out the drunken night time shots compared with the park scenes.




compatibility
most super 8 cameras will automatically expose tri-x correctly, but check the instruction manual to be sure. black and white film doesn't need colour balancing so you can remove the built-in 85 filter. if you leave the filter in it won't cause you any problems but we'd guess that it might increase contrast slightly. for more info on what we mean by this filter check out our post on the subject here.
