Kodak Tri-X 400 35mm

That classic grain profile is exactly why I keep coming back to this stock—the highlights roll off so gently in bright sun, and shadows stay printable down to some pretty dim scenes. Shoots beautifully at box speed, too, so I don't have to babysit the meter.

That classic grain just hits different—shadows stay rich and moody even when I push it a stop. Shot a roll at a friend's birthday party and the midtones wrapped everything in that timeless, gritty warmth I chase with digital and never get.

After shooting HP5+ for years, Tri-X’s classic grain feels wonderfully sharp and contrasty at box speed. The 400 speed handles everything from harsh midday sun to dim streetlights without missing a beat.
