Wonderful film
2004-02-23This is one of my favorite films. If you like smooth toned black and white shots, with little grain, great detail, and a bit of a silvery-gray feel to them, use Tri-X. With a 400 ISO, it can handle a wide range of conditions, and has a lot of latitude in development.
I have other choices for when I'm looking for a more old-time feel (Efke 50 or 100) or when I'm looking for the impact of a grainy film (Ilford 3200), but Tri-X Pan is probably the best Black and White film for everyday that I've used.

This is great film
2003-04-03I've found that this film Can't be beat. I'd rather spend the extra few dollars to get better looking pictures. I've shot this film out of my Howell+Bell point and shoot as well as my Canon Rebel G with very pleasing results both ways. a few tips I've found for shooting B&W use a R2(Red) Filter For better contrast, the pictures turn out sharper and Clearer depending on the lens your using. I shoot with Sigma's AF but I think it's the only way to go with a Canon Camrea. none the less, this film Can't be beat. SLR or point and shoot you can't go wrong.

Great results
2001-10-15I've had GREAT results shooting with TRI-X -- even on a point and shoot pocket camera. It's the only Kodak film I go out of my way to buy (Fuji is my preference for 35mm color).
Images are sharp and have excellent contrast - even in gray/lower light scenes (outdoor shots on a rainy day came out exceptionally well). TRI-X particularly showed better depth of field than the regular Kodak Select B&W film - it's worth the price to get sharp, professional looking images.

If you like Black & White
2001-08-28I shoot almost exclusively B&W film. I find the contrast characteristics of Tri-X to be the best. The T-Max films are way too flat and lifeless. Tri-X captures a wide tonal range, with excellent sharpness, and little grain. The negatives are great for scanning, and manipulating in Photo Shop. I can blow the scans up to 11 x 17 without loss of detail, and excellent prints. All in all my favorite B&W film.

Great Film
2001-01-22I had to buy this film for use in a photography class and it is a great film. The pictures develop great, the film is high quality, and it doesn't scratch too easy. Buy this film if you plan to develop your own pictures!!

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot.
There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them.
When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...

Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact.
For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch.
