Professional Tri-X 400 Black and White Negative 35mm Film, 35mm Film - 24 Exposures

Kodak Tri-X 400 Black & White Film (24 exp) — a professional-standard B&W stock for portfolio and editorial work

The gist: A 24-exposure roll of Kodak's legendary Tri-X 400, the black-and-white stock behind decades of photojournalism and editorial work — a shorter roll that's practical for a dedicated portfolio shoot or test session.

• Industry-standard look: bold contrast and deep tonality that art directors and editors have recognized as "the" documentary B&W look since 1954.
• Forgiving exposure latitude: reduces the risk of a ruined shot during a paid shoot with mixed or changing light.
• Pushable up to 3 stops: gives freelancers flexibility to shoot in low-light venues (galleries, evening events) and still get usable, punchy results in development.
• Right-sized for a single session: 24 frames is a practical length for a dedicated portfolio or test shoot without committing to a full 36-frame roll.

The Darkroom's film review describes Tri-X as "one of the most iconic film stocks ever made," with "excellent exposure latitude" and strong push/pull performance — qualities that matter when a paid shoot doesn't allow for reshoots.

Best for: photographers doing editorial or documentary-style portfolio work who want a shorter, dedicated test roll. Skip it if: you're shooting a longer job and want more frames per roll — the 36-exposure version costs less per shot. Runs ~$5 — check the current price before buying.
