A quarter century on this Tri-X performs nicely thanks to frozen storage. It seems to me that the tonalities and grain are very close to what a fresh roll of the film would produce.
I still lost one frame due to the curling of the thin film at the end of the roll. For the next roll I will reverse the loading to put the curly end at the innermost part of the reel. Or, maybe a better solution would be to insert the film strip in the reel with the emulsion side out since both ends are likely to have a strong curl.

Your portrait of Margaret is very good. You can almost count the hairs on her head. The detail in her top is excellent.
Wonderful range of tones and textures in the shot of the wire-wrapped pole! You get along with this film really well. It is pretty amazing that, even frozen all those years, this film still renders this nicely. I wonder how long Kodak will continue to make the current version of Tri-X?
I gave the film an extra stop of exposure to compensate for the age, but still had to adjust shadows and highlights a bit in photoshop. I'll try the next roll at ASA 100. Still, pretty nice results.
