[A] Gray ballance is excellent very sharp resolution No grain easy to load no problems.

[Polyester] wonderful grade of black and white - quick and easy load into my ultra 16mm bolex

[16 mm] My film arrived quickly and fresh. I love B and H. I can't get this stock anywhere else!

[B&W Reversal] Tri-X 7266 provides a delightfully wide-scale of grey tones as well as deep and dense black tones, which is owed to its unique reversal positive properties. Being a reversal film, the exposure latitude is much finer and requires precise metering during filming and an understanding of the various f-stops in a given scene. It takes a little bit of extra work, but it is not terribly difficult. This film does not give you the same flexibility of latitude as negative film in post-production, but taking care to light/filter your scene as well as possible during production will save you time in post and yield beautiful results. Using a spot meter with a grey card is recommended. Above all else, a good general rule is this: be careful of over-exposure. Highlights get blown out very quickly. If you must decided between over and underexposure, choosing underexposure is better and will preserve detail.

Being a black and white stock, Tri-X 7266 can be easily taken back and forth between tungsten and daylight lighting (the ISO slightly shifts between these color temperatures-- make sure to meter accordingly). Having some ND's on hand for outdoor filming can help.

The film can be used in a projector/flatbed/Moviscop after developing, though this does put permanent wear and tear on the film. Scanning or duplication is recommended in favor of preserving the camera original. Some laboratories can produce 16mm internegatives of this film. At present, Colorlab can do this. 7266 Tri-X is also a good candidate for bi-pack effects for use as a positive element, though this also puts some wear and tear on the element.

The stock is more challenging to use than negative films, but definitely worth the effort. It may not be Kodak's flagship product for this reason, but the resulting footage is beautiful. I recommend this stock for new and experienced 16mm users alike. You do not need to be an expert to enjoy this stock, just give yourself time to expose with care.

[Polyester] I started using Tri-X 16mm in the 60's as a student. That was old Tri-x negative. It was a beautiful then - speed,tonal values,crisp and surprisingly low-grain. I bought some recently just to shoot something with my old Bolex. Kodak only manufactures Tri-X 16mm as a reversal stock. I was a little nervous to see the results but WOW! I feel like I just found an old friend. Actually since everything goes straight from processing to digital transfer - eliminating the need for a negative and work print -- reversal stock makes a lot of sense. What can i tell you about my old friend Tri-X? They're looking as good in 2014 as they did in 1968 - hasn't aged a bit - may even look a little better!

[A] Shipping was very fast and the product was great.

[A] Great film if you're wanting to shoot 16mm on a budget, very forgiving in varying lighting.

[A] Out of anywhere it was the best price and arrived the fasted so I could get my filming underway :) highly recommend.
