Review Summary

This is my go-to black-and-white film. I shoot a lot of streetscapes and landscapes and this film is good for whatever conditions I find. I develop it in Rodinal 1+50. People say not to use Rodinal with fast films -- "You'll get grain the size of bowling balls!" -- but T-Max 400's grain structure does a nice job of taming that effect. I like Rodinal for its shelf stability and one-shot nature and look for films that play well with it. T-Max 400 certainly does.

I love TMax 400. It's fine-grained for 400 ISO, has a great tonal range, a wide exposure latitude and is just generally a fantastic every day film. I always have at least one camera loaded with this emulsion.

Decades ago, I was taught the art of doing people photography using black and white film. The photojournalist who taught us waned his students to use ASA 400 or 800 film. Since then, I have shot thousands of images using Kodak T Max film—with superb results

For serious art photography I find Kodak is the best. This film has been consistently excellent with fabulous tonal range and image clarity. The film can be pushed to 1600 if needed and still deliver.
