RE: [APML] old film

["Andrew Clegg" <andy@w4je.com>]

Michael--

Years ago I used to shoot with Plus-X (125 PX) and Tri-X (400 TX). These
were state-of-the-art B&W films when I was a yearbook photographer in high
school 25 years ago! They pre-date the Kodak T-emulsion films. Plus-X was a
staple; Tri-X was only used in low-light situations (400 was very fast film
back then) like night football games.

Plus-X and Tri-X would be considered very grainy compared to today's
T-emulsions. I can't vouch for red sensitivity as I didn't do much
astrophotography with them.

Clear skies,
Andy

    My local photoshop has on his wall display a few boxes of film.  They
have a layer of dust on them so I'll assume they are a not the newest.

    I don't know a thing about these. any help with what they are good for
would be appreciated.
*Kodak Tmax 100 pro
*Kodak 125 PX pro
*Kodak 400 TX pro
*Kodak Ektachrome 160T
He also has
*Elite Chrome 200 - (I'll grab a couple three boxes)
*Kodak Royal Gold - and I'll grab some of these as well.
