WHAT CONDITION THE CONDITION IS IN: AS IS.

This is a single pack of 16 4x5 exposures of Tri-X film. Unopened pack of 16 exposures. Needs a pack film adapter (not included). 

Tri-X is arguably the most famous black and white film ever made. This is from the heyday of Tri-X; back before silver cost a fortune. 

This film is best before more than 40 years ago. It is expired and offered AS-IS. We have not film tested it and although we are sure it was well stored, no guarantees are made as to quality. We recommend you do some testing before committing any important images to it. 

You'd be wise to do a bit of homework before subjecting this to any chemistry. The internet is positively drowning in advice on how to coax something usable out of film that has been quietly decaying for half a century, which tells you everything about both the film's fragility and humanity's stubborn refusal to let go of it.
