Hi Everyone,

This year is the 50th Anniversary of  Tri-X. It is announced in three 
languages on a little golden seal on the film box of the roll I bought 
today. I 
assume it's still made at good old State Street in Rochester. I reckon 1955 
was a 
good year. WW II vets were still young. There were 16 million of them. The 
Leica M3 was in its glory. The Rollei was at its zenith. The darkroom was an 
exciting place for a kid to work. I don't think RC paper was available then. 
 

Bob
