Instead they have Tri- Pan Pro which is rated at 400. Photo Tech magazine say that: ' Tri-X Pan and Tri-X Pan Professional are wholly different films without much in common besides their manufacturer and name.' They say the Pro is only available as roll and sheet film and that the speed is 320. Contrary to this, the Xtol tables say Tri-X Pro has a nominal speed of 400 in 35 mm (and 320 in 120/620 format). This got me confused, so I started using HP5plus which I like very much. Still I would appreciate somebody telling me the if there is any difference between the 5063 Tri-X and the Tri-X Pan Pro, if there is any.
