- Kodak's Tmax P3200 is Coming Back!!
Ive mentioned before how Kodak's beautiful Tmax 3200 is my all time favorite film stock. In this video I discuss what draws me to the film, how I go about exposing, shooting and developing the discontinued and expired versions of the film. As well as cover some of the major details and questions about Kodaks recent announcement of P3200's re-release!
I share a copious amount of sample shots the heaps of rolls I've shot over the past few years. As well as how to know whether or not your expired roll is good to shoot or not.
I would love to hear your comments down below. Do you like the aesthetics of the film? Are you excited for the announcement from Kodak? What other films would you like to see manufacturers re-release?

My name is Nick Mayo, I am a Michigan based film photographer and creative sharing my triumphs and struggles within the world of art and photography. I have a great number of videos lined up for sharing different things I've learned along the way in my creative journey, as well as some interviews with other creatives and influencers about their joys and struggles within the industry.
I too have always loved high grain images which led me to shooting a lot of expired film, almost exclusively now. The work that you’ve created with high grain, as shown in the video, really inspire me and make me want to shoot faster films. Keep up the great work 👌🏼
If static is the undertone of an old vinyl record then grain is the undertone of a good film photograph. One of the reasons why I was so unhappy with shooting Acros 100. It's a strange hybrid between a digital and film photograph. Grain is the undertone of photography. It's the building blocks that construct an image. Whether colour or black and white, it's the character, the soul and the essence of a film. It's the blue print and the identification. Without grain, there is no soul. This bass-line is what gives each image an identity that differentiates it from the others. Just like an artist chooses his brush, a photographer chooses his grain. I'm happy for my fellow artist and friend that he can paint freely once more!
Jahan Saber I know plenty of digital images with soul. Elitism is just crass m8
@@davidlewis1787 This is a great example of how listening too much of static noise from low quality vinyl might damage your brain lol.
Bill Badger 😀👍
Exciting! One of my all time favorite/useful films. I used to shoot this in the 80’s and 90’s for all my low light sports photography. Thanks Nick.
That Ilford reaction killed me haha! You're right though it was mostly about the excitement that they are bringing us more, a reassuring reminder that film is very much A L I V E. Great to hear your loyalty and passion for this film, I have never actually got to try it before so I am looking forward to doing so. It would really suit some work i'm thinking of coming up which is fairly personal work so also always great to see your family shots and why you think a film like this suits that type of environment! Thanks Nick, KEEP EM COMING KODAK !
Thank you for this video! Im new to film photography and only now im starting to know my films and choose among them, so what you said helped me understand tmax a lot more and see it differently! I think I'll go for a few more tries!
Awesome! i'm very excited about getting my hands on some TMAX P3200 and testing it out! Thank you for the information and great Vlog!
John Kraemer thanks John! I look forward to hearing how you like it when you get some.
A great video Nick! :) I love how poetic you can be when explaining things within this art form, it's certainly inspired me to go and shoot some Tmax 3200! I haven't been fortunate enough to shoot any of this film stock, but I'd certainly love to try some, specifically for gig photography and some night shots.
Great video man. Lots of information that I didn't know. I've never really been interested in shooting high speed films, but knowing more about Tmax p3200 now I might give it a chance as it seems quite versatile and looking at the photos you shared I quite like the structure of the grain. Again man great video, can't wait to see your shots from a fresh roll!
Awesome stuff man. I have never used this film but you have got me excited. Some amazing photos man well done.
Great review! Really enjoyable and informative. Just ordered a couple of rolls of P3200!
Thanks for the "push" explaining, as I'm new to this film!
Very great way to describe it! I love the random imperfections, not artificially created during post. I love when a photography blurs the line between reality and art (I’m not sure if that make sense at all lol). But the way you describe it was perfect, there is a romance and warmth to it, make it’s very emotional.
the way you described grain in film is similar to static in a vinyl record is perfect... nothing beats good film stock. Excited to compare delta 3200 and tmax 3200 when it releases in march, very interesting video nick! thanks!
These are great! Both the TMAX 3200 and the pushed TMAX 400 shots. In the past few months that I've gotten back into film, I've tried Tri-X, HP5, and Kentmere 400 so far, and you've convinced me to give TMAX 400 a try as well.
Good word dude! I totally agree with you about grain. It just adds a texture and feeling to a photograph that nothing else can.
Daniel Mermilliod thanks Daniel! Digital grain emulations just can’t reproduce the warm aesthetics of heavy film grain. It’s wonderful.
I just love the grainy look, it makes a big difference and gives the image a realistic feel, very nice images in your video Nick, I am excited to try it and would love to have ektacrhome 200 and 400 again in the market soon! Film is here to stay.
Need this kind of grain in my life... thank you for this video! :)
EI suggestions at 13:58 for both the expired emulsion and the new one is golden! I enjoyed the entire video though, very informative!
Marcos Santana hey thanks Marcos!
Great info Nick, going to check out that CineStill pre-order offer. I think you just became the p3200 authority. Peace!
Shawn Brezny haha I don’t know about authority, but I’ll accept advocate. 😅😅
I'm very excited to try it Nick! Can't wait for Tmax 3200 to become available!
Jim Sollows thanks for the comment Jim! I’m very excited as well.
Another awesome vid Nick! I am super excited to see Kodak drop their bulk 35mm prices. I know for a lot of people that is why they choose HP5 over Tri-X, at $120 for 100 feet you really weren't saving that much money, whereas $60 for HP5 makes a big difference. I am really looking forward to shooting Tmax 3200 for the first time, I absolutely love that grain structure!
Im really excited for this! Ive never shot anything over 400. Cant wait to try this!
Stormblessed I think you will enjoy the extra speed for certain situations 👌🏻
I've always heard good things about T-Max 3200 but have never tried it. Closest I've gotten is pushing Ilford HP5 to 3200 and the results have been amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on some of this film!
Juan Zamudio HP5 pushes performs incredibly well. And depending on the aesthetics you may be going for HP5 pushes may perform better. But give tmax 3200 a chance when it comes out. I think you will enjoy it.
Can't wait to get my hand on some of this soon, the grain is amazing
lachlan jennings I’m hoping the fresh emulsion packs a nice grain punch as well
So excited to try this film out when it comes back, I’m having an idea of going back to my “roots” and find some organic cow farms while in NYC and photograph that and I have already talked to my old boss in Denmark to do the same when I get back home.. and I want it to be grainy and raw so Im suuuper excited :)
Im so excited to shoot this film. I absolutely love the grain in all your photos! It adds this kinda warm feeling idk
Anthony Teague thank you so much! I really appreciate that 😊
The grain gives such a nice warm mood to the pictures of people. I think that is what this film is made for.
This should be required viewing for those like myself who were wondering what the big deal was. I was thinking to myself, why not just push Tri-X 3 stops and call it good. Now I understand things more. Can’t wait to pick some up next month! Great vid. It was like your personal love letter to T-Max 3200.
Love this! Great video.
Thank you so much 😊
NICK! I now clearly see what you were trying for when you did that super under exposed/over developed experiment with HP5 a while back! And I'm as pumped as you are, I've mentioned how much I want to shoot P3200 but everything was expired and over my budget. But now that this is out, like you said, maybe we'll see some price drops and hopefully a bulk roll!
This is a great post and very inspiring review. The irony is that those of us who get the appreciation of grainy images in a way that words cannot capture, get it; just the few images you shared are proof enough -- pictures do tell a story in a way that words will never capture.
Hey thanks, Ray. I definitely know what you mean, for anyone who holds grain in high regards, a image or two does all the talking it needs too. Haha. Thanks again
Great video and very informative indeed. Can't wait to get my hands on this film. I'll probably shoot it at 1600 though.
Ro Menz 1600 is a great speed to shoot it at as well. Also your comment is one of the winners of the tmax3200 giveaway I’m doing. I’m going to send you a roll from my collection (expired) for you to shoot and experiment with until the new stock is available to the public. 👊🏻👊🏻 shoot me your address over on instagram and I’ll get it in the mail to you asap
Great, Nick! Thanks a lot indeed. Looking forward to shoot it indeed.
Ngl I appreciate your enthusiasm for grain and imperfect
Great great Thanks and bye from Italy
I know what you mean about grain, especially when it enhances the subject matter so well. I love when I get grain in fog, not so much when storm chasing however.
David Rothschild grain and fog just seem to go together so well. It’s not for everything, but when it works, it works! Thanks for the comment brotha.
It’s amazing that a big company like Kodak is realizing that film is back and are willing to invest in this business again! I never tried tmax 3200 but I love the grain on the 400 it’s one of my favorite films, can’t wait to try it! I loved those photos with the expired film, I personally am not a big fan of expired film, it’s too much of a gambling, but those photos were awesome!
Nice review
I had a chance to try this film for the first time about two weeks ago, and my god, Kodak P3200 T-Max has gained a loyal fan.
I’m a local photographer based in Tokyo and I just love taking street photography here and I dared myself to try using a black and white film and I decided to go for this film. I took it to Shinjuku area with me and to the little alleyway by the station filled with bars and drunk salarymen. I loaded up this film in my trusty Nikon F3 and set at ISO 800 as I’ve read everywhere online.
You’re absolutely right about the grain, I was just amazed with the atmosphere and The more classical painting like aesthetic I have attained with this film taking photos of the drunk businessman drinking beer and eating yakitori. But on the other hand I loved the fine clarity and sharpness I got with this film when I pointed my camera towards the taxis parked in front of the brightest area in Shinjuku. I wish I can show you what I got with this film, and I’m on my way to go grab another roll tonight.
Thank you for an awesome video! I’ll be looking forward to the next one:)
So shooting the Kodak P3200 T-Max at ISO 800 gives what result, as opposed to shooting it at ISO 3200?
Kodak felt your love for that and bought it back!
Manoel Almeida haha if only Kodak knew who I was 😂😂😂
Actually, your love of TMax 3200 is understandable. Grain is a wonderful thing that is underappreciated in this day of tack sharp digital images. I too love grain but I also love the sharper films such as FP4 or even Pan F. But people don't want to shoot lower ISOs much these days either. It just depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what you want the end result to look like. Sometimes, huge amounts of grain are bliss. Other times, tack sharp, low grain is bliss. To each their own.
Wow! So much great info in here I'm gonna have to watch it a couple more times to soak it all in.
I picked up a small lot of expired TMAX 3200 on ebay a few months ago after hearing you talk about it before. I shot the first roll at 1600 with OK results. I'm shooting a roll now at 400 to see how it turns out (developing both at 3200). I've read that HC-110 is a good developer for expired film because it is good at keeping the level of base fog to a minimum. You were not kidding about the base density of the negs! When I pulled the first roll out of the tank I thought it was trash but it scanned surprisingly well.
I haven't printed any yet, but this film screams to be printed on Ilford's Art 300 fiber paper! It's cotton rag made by Hahnemuhle and has a textured eggshell finish almost like watercolor paper.
Funny enough I've never shot Delta 3200 although I have a few rolls in my freezer stash. It would be really interesting to hear your thoughts comparing the new TMAX 3200 against Delta 3200.
Thanks for the tip on the pre-order from Cinestill. I already preordered some rolls from another place, but I might pick up a few more from them as well.
I'll post one of my favorite images from my first roll on instagram and tag you in it (I'm @cmiller15)
Thanks again for awesome content!
Pretty cool to see it made again I’m not sure what I’d use it for tbh but I’ll def try a roll for sure at some point
James furtado it’s not for everyone, but at least give it a go.
The one at 22:03, with the guy in the bokeh with the cross...beautiful
I think you bring up a great point. The grain structure of an image is almost like an illustration. Grain has a certain charm to it, which is one of the reasons that I enjoy pushing film. Film gives you the opportunity to experiment with these kinds of things which is why i've fallen so in love with it. You can shoot expired film, push film, pull film, and everything in between to get unexpected results. Ive been shooting film since my sophomore year of high school and it's opened my eyes to what can be done with this truly amazing art form. With that being said, I am extremely excited for Kodak to be re-releasing TMAX 3200. I will definitely pick some up in the near future.
Oh... I haven't been on your channel for a minute. P3200? Hell yeah! I also love, surprisingly, the bw400cn. Completely different emulsion, right? Anyway. Keep it up
The texture is why I shoot black and white film over digital for certain work (street compositions and personal documentary). Even for me, Tri-X does that for me, but I really love those grainy shots and how they start to feel like something different than a straight photograph. It just feeeels better!
Already picked up some from FPP. Can't wait to shoot some of it myself!
Manuel Guzman savedollar ;)
omnesilere yup! Used the coupon code. ^.^
Good intro. Your cinematography and use of music is very inviting. What do you think about attempts to digitally recreate the character and idiosyncrasies of classic film stock using filters, etc.? Is that hokey or worthwhile?
Nice video, as always! I pre-ordered some from Cinestill! Can't wait to try it out. I've not shot with it before. I've tried Ilford Delta 3200, and it had golfball sized grain. That may have been from the way I shot it. I do like the grain. To me it's one of the things that distinguishes film from digital. If I wanted "perfect" i'd shoot digital. Since I'm not perfect, I don't demand it of my photos either!
great video!! so excited this film is back!! I bought 10 rolls of it and can't wait to shoot them.
can you tell me what developer you are using and maybe a dev time? I use Xtol regularly but I've also tried D76. Thank you
Hey sorry for the delayed response. I love this film so much. The developer I’m using is Kodaks HC110. I use it at Dilution B (1+31) at 24C and 7:30. It’s nice because its the same time and temp I develop my HP5 pushed to 1600 in. So I can kill multiple birds with one stone. Hope that helps.
Been shooting Tri-X 400 pushed to 1600 for awhile, but haven't tried T-Max before. Definitely going to have a go at this at some point when it becomes more generally available. I think my street photography can benefit a lot from a high grain kind of film. :-)
I am looking forward to P3200 as I would like to try it. However that is not the main reason I am happy it is coming back. I am happy because it means that Kodak is not going to get rid of their other films and it will bring choice through competition that hopefully brings prices down to a more affordable level over time.
Excellent vid as usual Nick. Is there anything to watch out for in storing your film in the fridge/freezer eg. do you put it in a plastic sealable container or resealable plastic bag etc.
Tim Rosenthal hey Tim, for me I keep them in the box or keep them in the plastic canister when in the freezer. That’s seemed to work just fine over the years. I’ve never had any issues.
I like the way you link the look of T Max 3200 (big grain) with a particular subject matter (your family). I am with you, grain is one of the things that makes film photography what it is. The look of Tri-X-with its beautiful, refined grain-is what first made me want to take pictures. Thanks for a great and very enthusiastic review. I will be among the first in line to buy a roll of TMZ when it comes out next month.
Like you said, this excites me most because its a good sign for the future of film. Will I try this emulsion? Yes, definitely since I've heard you rave about it and I've never tried it. Will it become a regular film stock for me? Probably not, but this excites me because it shows that the industry is heading in the right direction. More film stocks and more competition = more accessible film! Everybody wins.
Doing some analog work over the next month. Testing the TMax 3200 now. We’ll see what happens.
Amazing
Thanks for watching
It’s hugely interesting that a big manufacturer has brought back a film and surely a great positive for the future of film photography.
As for films that have vanished and should come back...I think I’d like to see a wider range of 4x5 film, colour negative especially as realistically there is only Kodak Portra and Ektar. Black and white? Maybe or TMax 3200 in 120 or 4x5. That’d be cool.
Nice video man.
great vid man..I can't wait to use it myself.....question?freezing film....when should I freeze...special temp it has to be....when you take it out how long do you have to wait to use it? I would like to learn how
man i need to try that stuff out for my around the house film...
The way you use certain metaphors to explain this film is the way I visualize this stock of film.
I get you. A photogtapher asked me why I like grain. It makes me happy. It makes a print say something. I inspiring.
Gavin Go I completely agree! Also, your comment is the winner of my tmax3200 giveaway! I’m going to send you a roll from my collection (expired). Shoot me your address over on Instagram and I will get it in the mail to you ASAP. 👊🏻👊🏻
Nick Exposed Wow Thanks!
Super pumped to bring you a vid all about my all time favorite film stock! I want to hear your thoughts on the film! Do you like the aesthetic? Are you pumped about Kodak’s announcement to bring it back? What other film stocks would you like to see film manufacturers bring back? I would love to discuss these things with you here in the comments!
Nick Exposed so far no bw film got my attention or interest to shoot because they ddnt have what p3200 has: lovely grain. i just hope that the fresh rolls have somehow similar grain density like the rolls you been shooting 🙏
nice video nick
I’ve always searched for the “cleanest” least grainy film. I’ll definitely pick up a roll of this on your recommendation though. I’ve never thought about grain’s structure before this, and now I’m curious!
Not something I'd use on a regular basis, but I'd be curious to once or twice for a special occasion.
Totally agree with everything you said in the video, even down to the coffee stuff, haha :-) I absolutely love T-Max 3200, and I always find myself trying to emulate that look in Photoshop with digital shots. So happy they brought it back!
Like you said, I don't really want my photos to look like a perfect rendition of reality. I want them to look like a piece of art, not just a documentary shot. Besides, life isn't glossy, it's grainy!
I live for the grain in photos it gives them an old feeling like you’ve seen the photo before I’ve never shot it in black and white so I can’t wait to try out the film and if there were one film I’d like to see re released it would probably be Fuji superia 1600
Great video... it's always good to have more film options! :D ..... I hope you send me a roll of this stuff!!! ;)
VeloRydr hahaha subtle! Thanks dude
Great video
seymour jackson thank you 😊
I have to be honest, I never shot it but already have a crazy project in mind for it, together with Delta 3200 which I shoot and love. I'm just thinking about development times and developers to use, would like to use the same developer for both of them. For stocks I'm not really in the wave of Kodachrome or whatever, but would like that Acros doesn't disappears, and that we would have larger availability of Ferrania and Silberra.
Wonderful film, I’m so happy that Kodak is getting it together and putting out new/old films. I’ve shot an ANCIENT roll of tmax, it didn’t even have an ASA on the box or wrap or anything. I shot it at 400, but I ruined the film by developing for the wrong time. Definitely getting my b&w film developed by someone else next time, color is way easier 😂. I can’t wait til this comes out in stores, I’m calling the film store in Nashville today to see if they know if they’ll have it in stock. Wonderful video, thanks for sharing!
Grain in Pictures is like Salt&Pepper on Food; you can't without. #InGrainWeTrust #ShootFilmNotPixels
Love grain in black and white film!!!
Same here! It’s got so much soul! Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the delay in response
Really Love this Film.
It’s amazing! My favorite :)
I like to have a foot in both worlds. sometimes I want really nice sharp contrasty images that contain lots of detail and so will shoot lower speed film to achieve that goal. then there are other times where lots of grain gives a photo just the right atmosphere and feel so will use that instead. I havent tried Tmax 3200 yet, as I love Ilford films and use their Delta 3200 which I really like but might have to get a roll of of Tmax 3200 just to see how it goes and if I like it.
Those pictures looks like the first photos by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce or Talbot. I’m amazed that you gotten those type of photographs.
Jahnoi Smith thanks so much. I really appreciate it 😊
Just came across your channel...why no current uploads!?
I have to admit my feelings regarding the P3200 announcement were influenced by recent events in my life. On Monday I shot my 2nd-4th rolls of Delta 3200 (first time shooting it in medium format) and just fell head over heels for this stuff. So when the new Kodak emulsion turned out to be another 3200 speed b/w stock, I was just like "... meh". But I am glad to see a new option on the market, even if it's not one I'm personally excited about. I hope it sees massively successful sales, that it ends up coming out in 120, and that it becomes the first of several new releases in the coming years. I was hoping for a high speed color stock, maybe even tungsten-balanced. Portra 1600T would be an interesting addition to the film market.
Have you ever shot Delta 3200? If so, what did you think of it? Main differences between it and P3200? I'm told they render in vastly different ways but nobody has given me specifics. Anyway, I just preordered 2 rolls from CineStill so I guess I'll find out soon enough.
The sharpest and nicest grain I ever got was with Fujifilm Neopan 1600 Professional in Fuji developer.
LokkieF ive heard good things about that stock as well, but never got my hands on any of them.
Great info and great video, except the purple light. Are you shooting video in a bar with neon lights all around?
Jeff Bradford haha the light was suppose to be only on the wall. It rolled forward and ended up casting that nasty purple light on my face 😩😩 I didn’t catch it until the edit.
I was just curious if it was intentional. Like maybe you know some secrets I could discover...
Will this be new 'old' stock? Or freshly manufactured?
This was comparable to Kodaks, High Speed Recording film. I use to assist Steven Klein back in the 90's and he use to shoot High Speed Recording film. Loved that film.
Yup! Kodak 2475 and 2485 Recording films. Emulsion was designed from the start for high speed cine work. 500+ FPS or 20 times slow motion. I don't remember the number of the special developer recommended by Kodak. 847???
Thanks! 😉👍 Make grain great again!
You sure sparked my enthusiasm to shoot it again Nick :). But you never tried Ilford’s Delta 3200?
The Kodak is better
@@nickfanzo You can get the same results (contrast, grain, etc). You just need to adjust development.
@@node547 I find Kodak’s grain to be more intense on darkroom printing
@@nickfanzo by default yes, but you can achieve similar with high acutance developers. I found delta too flat in the beginning but fixed that with longer development (after reading the datasheet 😅). Plus for me is that delta is also available in 120.
I was just continuously thinking of neopan acros all through this video
Ah I never got a chance to try out neopan. I would absolutely love to get my hands on some at some point. Is that your favorite?
Nick Exposed it's a fineeee film, just thought of it because it's totally opposite of why you enjoy this one, and a few days ago I was just so happy with its fine grain. Then I saw this. I really love how different it can get. Love your pics
Help me understand Nick, others please. So if TMAX P3200 is a push film that has a base ASA 800, and simply has the standard developing time set for 3200, is that exactly the same as with Ilford's Delta 3200? I always thought it was a bit disingenuous that Delta 3200 was never really a 3200 speed film and developing it at stock times yielded severe underexposure unless you rated it at 1000.
that is correct. both films are true 800/1000 speed designed for pushing. i haven’t had issues with underexposed delta at 3200 but i do know a lot of people that shoot/develop both films closer to their base asa, typically because they prefer the look.
Will a lab process Tmax at 3200...or do I to ask for 'push' develop?
When you talk about 'cold storage', are you storing film in the refrigerator or freezer?
Treat film just like ice cream; keep it FROZEN and either P3200 or Delta 3200 in a lead foil "Film Shield" bag to reduce the damage from naturally occurring Cosmic Radiation. I have a 3 foot square, nearly 4 foot tall Chinese (dented) deep freeze I got very cheap. It's had all my film in it for 35 years. I have Ektachrome 200 that still gives excellent results. It hasn't been made in at least 30 years.
Quick question Nick, when you say “33% more time to your dev” do you mean 33% more time only when dev in canister or 33% more time of overall dev process?
Efrain Salvador, Jr. hey Efrain! Just in the development time of the whole development process. So the film is in the developer for 33% more time. The stop bath and fixer are same as normal. I think that answers your question. If I’m missing something let me know.
What? Lol
I'm relatively new to photography and i have a question. How would i shoot a 3200 speed film in daylight? Surely because its so sensitive to light i would have to shoot it on the fastest shutter speed with the smallest aperture? or is this a film that you simply dont use in the daylight?
There are neutral density filters you can buy to darken the light coming through the lens to use a faster film or wider aperture than would normally be possible during the day.
Just curious, what’re you developing in?
HC110 Dilution B and i spike temp to 24C to reduce time and add character
I have a question. I recently started shooting film as a hobby. I'm a complete noob so I'm learning. However my only option for developing the film is to send it off to The Darkroom so it takes a long time to get my images back to see how I can improve my shots. So should I wait until I see my images to go shooting again or should I keep shooting and not worry about getting my images back first?
keep shooting always! Unless you're testing some film and you are not sure about exposure times and stuff like that, but it probably is not your case. And have you tought about home developing? are you shooting color or B&W?
Two Yellow Feathers I'd love to, but I don't have a location to do so. I live in dorms so I can't have the chemicals in my room.
Jorge Carqueijo I literally just started haha. I'm still in the learning phase. I'd like to shoot both color and B&W.
if you have a twitter account just search for all analog people around there, really nice community and always ready to help in whatever questions you have, or Instagram also. Search for the tags #believeinfilm and just start following people and interacting with them.
You should see if your college has a photography club that has darkroom facilities. You should definitely figure out a way to develop yourself. It is worth all the trouble!
The Walgreens where I shop stopped selling any b&w film.
Ah that’s a bummer. But it does seem to be consistent across the board. Most general retailers have removed bnw film from their shelves. It’s really unfortunate.
The way you develop your film can really change the sharness of your grain.
LokkieF totally! It will change the density of the grain, which will effect the sharpness, but you’re not going to get x grain to respond as a t grain. Not as far as I know at least.
@@NickExposed what's x and t grain?
I think the word would be "anthropomorphic". Has that Peter Lindbergh quality to it.
Which developer do you use or suggest?
Zhijia WANG there is a TMax specific developer which works great, I use that and D-76 as well. Massive Dev chart, my friend.
Zhijia WANG personally I use HC110 dilution B
It’s 2022. I am still waiting for P3200 to be available in bulk and 120 format. I guess Ilford wins!
Kodak is missing out!!
Try Fomapan 400; Really grainy stuff.
I’ve shot fomapan 400 quite a bit, pushed to 1600 and beyond. The grain structure is a bit different than what I prefer, but its definitely a capable film.

I've never stored B/W film in a fridge.
Gotta buy it up so they make it on 120 rolls :)
omnesilere yes! It’s up to us to show them there’s a market for it. I’m rooting for 120 as well
I would love for Fuji to bring back Neopan 1600. Not going to happen sadly.
A tad too grainy for my taste, but really nice pictures.
It’s not for everyone. Thank you for the kind words though!
