Kodak T-Max 100

What Kodak T-Max 100 actually looks like — 16 photographs shot on it by members here.

ISO 100 · Black & white · 16 photographs · 6 developing recipes

Kodak T-Max 100 is one of the finest-grained, sharpest black-and-white films still made. Its T-grain emulsion produces very smooth tones and crisp detail, which is why it is popular for landscapes, architecture and large format, where big enlargements show everything.

That precision comes with less slack than a traditional film: it is sensitive to development time and temperature, and highlights can block up if it is overdeveloped. Many people rate it at box speed or slightly under and develop carefully. Like T-Max 400, it can leave a magenta tint that a full fix clears. For a more traditional fine-grain look, compare it with Ilford FP4 Plus or Fujifilm Acros II.

How members developed this film

6 of the 16 photographs here include developing details, recorded by the photographer. Times and temperatures are what they each used, not a recommendation — and the negative each one produced is right there beside it.
