KODAK TRI-X Reversal Film 7266

TECHNICAL DATA /

We are committed to black & white film—improvements to
our family of reversal films prove it. New KODAK TRI-X
Reversal Film 7266 offers finer grain and increased
sharpness, and includes EASTMAN KEYKODE Numbers
for easy cross-reference of shots in minutes, not hours.
Reduced static support allows for a cleaner image
throughout the filmmaking process. And because our new
films do not require processing in a bleach containing
heavy metals, they are easier on the environment. Our
improved films provide the rich blacks and high contrast
you have come to expect from KODAK Black & White
reversal films.

KODAK TRI-X Reversal Film 7266 (16 mm) is a
high-speed, panchromatic black-and-white film with an
antihalation undercoat that makes it suitable for general
interior photography with artificial light. It can also be used
in daylight and is particularly useful for sports pictures
taken at regular speed or slow motion in weak light
(overcast sky or late in the day). This film is characterized
by excellent tonal gradation and sharpness.

When processed as a reversal film, the resulting positive
can be used for projection or for duplication. If processed
as a negative material by conventional methods, the film
will yield satisfactory results, although there will be some
loss in speed and an increase in granularity.

BLACK-AND-WHITE REVERSAL FILM

BASE

KODAK TRI-X Reversal Film 7266 has a grey acetate safety
base with an additional anti-halation undercoat. The back
side of the base contains an anti-static layer with a
carnauba wax lubricant.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Reversal Processing

All processing operations should be carried out in total
darkness until the bleaching step has been completed. If
necessary, the film can be examined (for a few seconds
only) after development is 50 percent complete. Use a
KODAK 3 Safelight Filter / dark green, with a 15-watt bulb,
no closer to the film than 1.2 metres (4 feet). Following
bleaching, normal room lighting can be used.

Negative Processing

No safelight is recommended until after the stop bath.
Unprocessed films must be handled in total darkness.

STORAGE

Store unexposed film at 13°C(55°F) or lower. For extended
storage, store at -18°C(0°F) or lower. Process exposed film
promptly. Store processed film according to the
recommendations in ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998: for
medium-term storage (minimum of ten years), store at
10°C(50°F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to
30 percent; for extended-term storage (for preservation of
material having permanent value), store at 2°C(35°F) or
lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent. For active
use, store at 25°C(77°F) or lower, at a relative humidity of
50 +/- 5 percent. This relates to optimized film handling
rather than preservation; static, dust-attraction and
curl-related problems are generally minimized at the
higher relative humidity. After usage, the film should be
returned to the appropriate medium- or long-term storage
conditions as soon as possible.

For more information about medium- and long-term
storage, see ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998, SMPTE RP131-2002,
and KODAK Publications No. H-845, The Essential
Reference Guide for Filmmakers.

EXPOSURE INDEXES

Tungsten (3200K) - 160 Daylight - 200

Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light
exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA
speeds or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter
readings of average subjects made from the camera
position or for readings made from a gray card of
18-percent reflectance held close to and in front of the
subject. For unusually light- or dark-colored subjects,
decrease or increase the exposure indicated by the meter
accordingly.

RECIPROCITY CHARACTERISTICS

You do not need to make any exposure adjustments for
exposure times from 1/1,000 to 1 second. If your exposure
is in the 1/10,000 second range, it is recommended that
you increase your exposure by

1

⁄2 stop.

REVERSAL PROCESSING

KODAK B&W Reversal Process

This film should be processed with KODAK B&W
Reversal Process Kit Chemicals or with solutions prepared
according to the formulas presented in KODAK
Publication No.H-24.15, Manual for Processing KODAK
Motion Picture Films, Module 15.

Note: KODAK B&W Reversal First Developer and
Replenisher (D-94A) and KODAK B&W Reversal Bleach
and Replenisher (R-10) should be used with this film.

The recommended starting points for processing times
and temperatures are shown in the table below. Actual
processing times may differ from the ones shown because
of machine design variables, such as film transport speed,
degree of solution agitation, amount of solution carry-over,
etc.
