Well, if you are interested in Tri-X try Arista Premium 400 from
Freestyle Photographic. It is rumored to be rebadged Tri-X. I Picked up
several rolls and have been experimenting - shooting a roll of Tri-X and
the Arista Premium and developing one of each in the same tank. SO far,
the results have been great - I see no difference at all between the two
films. At $2.89 per 36 exposure roll it beats bulk Tri_X for price.
I love Tri-X but these days I'm really loving Kentmere and it seems to
be quite a bit less expensive in bulk. Depends on how many exposures
come out of a 100' roll though.

18-19 rolls according to one comment. Tri-X is $70 for 100ft in bulk.
You can buy 36 exposure rolls of Tri-X for $6. So, total savings is
somewhere around $40 over factory issued rolls. Interesting.

As long as you keep the bulk roll balance in a cool place, no problems. If in
the fridge, don't
forget to let it warm up and lose any condensation before transferring to the
canister.

Subject: Bulk Film Loading
I've been shooting a bit of 35mm B&W these days and finally broke down and
bought a daylight loader
for bulk rolls and some reloadable canisters. I'm sure someone here has done or
does do the bulk
film loading thing... Question that I'm wondering about - is there any problem
with just putting the
100 foot roll into the loader and then filling canisters as needed, or is there
a reason why you
should load up the whole bulk roll in one session? Although I do shoot a fair
amount of film it
would take a month or two to use up the approximately 20 rolls I'd get out of a
100 foot roll.. Is
it OK to just load up a few canisters as needed, which means the bulk roll
would be stored in the
loader, or should I load it all up at once?
TIA -
Mark
