Yikes... pardon my yikes... but Tri-X is a Kodak B&W film that is probably
older than most LUGgers. Of course not me, and not Ted. It has been the
"workhorse" of the B&W photo industry for decades. It is available
throughout the world. There are two kinds, Tri-X, and Tri-X professional,
the latter being the newest, however, real photographers love and use the
original version. Just plain Tri-X.
