It's unfortunate that it is not available in 35mm > format, as I've always wanted to try it. It's tonality is also completely different from real tri x. This film should not have been called Tri x. It seems to be called that only because Tri x is a name which is recognized. Dumb. Misleading. Shame on Kodak for that and a slew of other things. But i think it's OK stuff and comes in 220. It's slower speed indicates it's finer grain. Some think it does not make a good general purpose film. I disagree. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
