So I pealed open a box of Tri-X to load into my Nikon S2 for a little family Thanksgiving snapping, and what did I see, Chrome Caps On A Roll Of TRI-X?

I've been shooting Tri-X since 1976 and never remember seeing chrome caps on the rolls. Is this something new?

Ah beaten by Slumgullion, yeah this was a thing in '22 or '21 - almost certainly trying to cut costs and then they rolled it back later on.
So I assume this roll is old(er) stock?

To add a little bit more - they're now also re-doing the design of the cardboard boxes.
I now have T-Max and Portra 400 in new box designs. Only 135 though, so far my 120 boxes are still the old design.
