Connection note
Friedlander's black-and-white work was shot primarily on Tri-X; the film's latitude suited his practice of photographing in varied lighting conditions on the street.
Product description
In production since 1954, Tri-X 400 is a black-and-white film whose grain structure, broad exposure latitude, and response to push processing made it the dominant film in photojournalism and street photography for decades.
