Kodak Tri-X Pro 400 - 30m

Loaded a roll into my old Leica and the grain structure on this 30-meter bulk spool is exactly what I remember from the classic Tri-X look. Perfect for pushing a stop or two when the light drops, and the 30m length means I can custom-load dozens of rolls at a cheaper per-shot cost.

The 400 speed is a lifesaver for indoor shots without a flash, and the grain gives portraits a classic, gritty look. I pushed it to 800 in low light and the shadows held up better than I expected.

The panchromatic sensitivity handles mixed indoor lighting beautifully, and I got sharp, grain-rich shots of a fast-moving street performer without any flash. A 30m roll lasts me ages, so it's solid value for anyone shooting regularly.
