Kodak's T-MAX 100 black and white film still remains the finest ISO 100 speed black and white film available. It is the one I use when quality counts, with respect to both contrast and resolution. When developed properly in T-MAX developer, it will yield the finest, richest detail I have seen for any black and white film. It is still almost impressive too when developed in standard D-76 developer. Its closest rival is Ilford Delta 100, which is almost as fine as this film with regards to contrast and resolution. For me it is the perfect all around black and white film when high speed (ISO 400 or higher) isn't important.

As a professional photographer for 20 yrs., I can honestly say I have had alot of experience with this film....This is what I buy when quality really counts!..Its high contrast extremely valuable when necessary for publication...would definitely recommend.

Tmax 100 is amazing. For black and white film, you would be hard-pressed to find something better in 35mm. Its grain is essentially nonexistent when unpushed, its tonal range is enormous, and it is the clearest film that I have ever worked with. If you get scans made, tell the lab not to correct them, because in my experience they will push the contrast too far. Other than that minor defect, this is possibly the best black and white film out there.

I am a mostly digital girl, and this is the only film I use when I shoot shots of still life in a film camera. I do not shoot for bells and whistles nor do I have high-end camera equipment. With this particular film I am always pleased whether I have taken shots of industrial areas, rural ruin, or candid portraits - it is a film that will work for anything with crispness.
