Tri-X 320 Pro

[braxus]

Though it's now only available in sheets, can someone show me some samples from Tri-X 320 to show how it responds to outdoor work, whether landscapes or portraits? I know it's more a studio film, but id like to see how it looks for outdoor work.

I saw this video a while back. There are some outdoor examples here.

Most of the images on my web site were made with that film (120/220 film, 4x5 - 5x7 & 8x10 sizes)

Only the last one, Alambic was 35mm (TX 400) and so different.

It has a longer toe favouring midtone and highlight contrast so traditionally landscape photographers gave it generous exposure. It will do fine.

Examples by good printers don’t tell you a whole lot about the film because print quality and tone reproduction are ultimately mostly about the printing, but if you want to see landscape work made from that film look at George Tice (all his LF work was done with TXP). Also have a look at John Sexton’s pre-1980s work. Bruce Barnbaum has basically only ever used that film and while I’m not generally into his printing style it at least shows you the film can handle landscapes just fine.

Two examples but with a Hawkeye Brownie with an inverted lens camera. All my 6x6 gallery images are TriX320.

I think it was TXP (or its TXT immediate antecedent in sheet form) that Richard Henry was referring to when he commented that a lot of Zone System adherents were inherently relying on the latitude built into the materials.

I just wish Kodak would start making it in rollfilm again, especially with the gradual shift to estar base for many rollfilm products.

I've been using TriX 320 for over 40 years; my primary film stock for 4x5 and 8x10. Here's a couple of examples:

I used Tri-X 320 pro in 220 size, from the late seventies until it was discontinued. Indoor but mostly outdoor and it performed absolutely wonderful in all conditions. It is really sad that it is no longer available in 220 size.
