Kodak Tri-X 400 120 Film Review

Here is our Kodak Tri-X 400 120 Film Review. We shot a roll on our Bronica RF645. So, have a look at our film test and see what you think.

Kodak Tri-X has been around since the 1940s. One of the most popular black and white films on the market. We can safely say Tri-X is a classic. We wanted to see what results we got when developing it in Tetenal Paranol S. So, we put a roll of Kodak Tri-X in the Bronica RF645 and took it out to Milkwood Park.

The first thing you notice with the 120 version of Tri-X is the detail. And, it doesn’t have the same gritty look that the 35mm Tri-X is famous for.

It has lovely rich mid-tones. As well as excellent contrast and great detail in the highlights. These test shots show why this film is so highly regarded. 

We developed this roll in Tetenal Paranol S. We think it’s a good match. It gave us fine grain and nice sharpness on the edges.
