2 KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX Films • F-4016
KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 100 Film ⁄ 100TMX is
a continuous-tone panchromatic black-and-white
negative film for general outdoor and indoor photography.
It is especially useful for detailed subjects when you need
maximum image quality. It is also excellent for copying
black-and-white photographs, for making black-and-white
copies from color transparencies, and for
photomicrography. This film features medium speed (ISO
100/21° in most developers), extremely high sharpness,
extremely fine grain, and very high resolving power. It
allows a very high degree of enlargement.
You can also use T-MAX 100 Film to produce
high-quality black-and-white slides from camera-original
exposures, continuous-tone photographs, drawings,
artwork, and radiographs when you process it with the
KODAK T-MAX 100 Direct Positive Film Developing
Outfit. The T-MAX Outfit also lets you use this film to
produce copy negatives from black-and-white or color
negatives, to make duplicate black-and-white slides, or to
make black-and-white slides from color slides.
KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 400 Film ⁄ 400TMY is
a continuous-tone panchromatic black-and-white
negative film especially useful for photographing dimly
lighted subjects or fast action, for extending flash distance
range, and for photographing subjects that require good
depth of field and fast shutter speeds with maximum
image quality for the film speed. It is also useful for
scientific and biomedical work, especially when
fluorescence photography is required. It has high speed
(ISO 400/27° in most developers), very high sharpness,
extremely fine grain, and high resolving power; it allows a
high degree of enlargement.
KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX P3200
Film ⁄ P3200TMZ is a multi-speed continuous-tone
panchromatic black-and-white negative film that
combines high to ultra-high film speeds with finer grain
than that of other fast black-and-white films. It is especially
useful for very fast action; for dimly lighted scenes where
you can’t use flash; for subjects that require good depth of
field combined with fast shutter speeds; and for
handholding telephoto lenses for fast action or in dim light.
It is an excellent choice for indoor or nighttime sports
events and available-light press photography, as well as
law-enforcement and general surveillance applications
that require exposure indexes of 3200 to 25,000.
FEATURES BENEFITS
• KODAK T-GRAIN
Emulsion that reshapes
pebble-like crystals into a
tabular form with more
surface to catch light
• Allows films with extremely fine
grain to be made faster;
high-speed films have finer grain.
T-MAX Films offer the best of both
worlds: high speed and fine grain.
• Improved sharpness • Maintains subject detail in prints
at higher degrees of magnification
than conventional films.
• Expanded exposure
latitude
• Greater “forgiveness” with
overexposure errors; quality prints
from moderately under- or
overexposed negatives.
• Better highlight separation.
•Improved reciprocity at
long and short exposure
times
• Less compensation required than
with conventional films.
• 120-size film coated on a
thicker (4.7-mil) base
than other
black-and-white roll films
• Improved dimensional stability;
easier darkroom handling.
• Virtually no difference
between the daylight and
tungsten film speeds
• No need to adjust exposure for
different light sources.
• More responsive to
zone-system
development changes
• Smaller time adjustments needed.
• No increase in processing
time required for
one-stop “push” with
most developers
• No need to segregate
one-stop-pushed film from
normally exposed film. You can
mix normal exposures and
one-stop-pushed exposures on
the same roll. (You may want to
use paper one-half grade higher in
contrast to print one-stop-pushed
exposures.)
• Less development-time
increase required for film
pushed by two or more
stops
• Saves processing time.
• Processed in standard
developers, including
KODAK PROFESSIONAL
T-MAX Developer and
KODAK KODAK
PROFESSIONAL T-MAX
RS Developer and
Replenisher
• No need for a special developer.
You can process T-MAX Films
with other black-and-white films.
•T-MAX 100 Film—
excellent for use in copy
applications with normal
exposure and processing
• No need for contrast adjustment
or special processing.
•T-MAX 100 Film—
high-quality
black-and-white slides
with processing in the
KODAK T-MAX 100
Direct Positive Film
Developing Outfit
• Reversal applications with shorter
processing times.
• T-MAX 400 Film—
a versatile film for
all-around use
• Excellent for use under lighting
conditions from bright sunlight to
dim existing light.
•T-MAX P3200 Film—
speeds ranging from high
to ultra high
• Allows photography in situations
where it was previously
impossible.
