Tri-X 320

[colyn]

I was given several 120 rolls this morning and was wondering if anybody has used this film and what your impression is..

Awwwwwwwwww geeeeeze, Louise! First the $5 0.95 lens and now free 120 film. Stop it! :D

I have no idea except that Kodak has been making it since forever. It can't be all that bad. I have a roll of Ilford HP5+ I need to put through the Pentax. I've never used HP5 or Tri-X in 120. Shall we compare notes later?

I believe it's just the professional version of Tri-X 400...
I have a few rolls in the fridge along with some Tmax 400...
I also found some 200ASA Scala 120 film (8 rolls) that will never be use by me, so if anyone's interested let me know...

As far as I think I've picked up over the years, Tri-x 320 is sold as being optimized for use with photoflood lighting or flash.
I remember hearing that it doesn't push as well as 400 either.
All of that said, I've never actually used it. So make use of it, and see what you think. Maybe post results so there is a little more information out there for the rest of us.

I've used it off and over many years. usually when it sold at an expired film discount. If it's TX professional, it is usually only sold in multi-roll packs.

I've never detected any difference in the way the emulsion responds to varying lighting conditions. I've only pushed it in Acufine, but that has worked out fine.

TX Pro does have a slightly different film base. It is made for retouching. I don't think too much of that goes on anymore.

It's made for professionals who take lighting ratios into consideration; it works best under controlled lighting circumstances. It's not as good for available light as TX400.

Here's what Kodak has to say......http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/f4017/f4017.jhtml?id=0.2.22.14.19.16.14&lc=en

I've heard it's made from the same stock as Kodaks motion picture Tri-X, hence the 320 rating. I havnt used it enough to say how it differs from TX400

TX 320 is a great film, Kodak tends to throw that disclaimer that its only for controlled lighting but it is a very flexible and versitile film. I use it in 120, 220 (yay!) and 4x5, and effective changes in grain, contrast and 'look' can be done by souping in Rodinal, Xtol or Microdol-X. I think its Kodaks best B&W film currently being made.
