KODAK T-Max TMY 400 135/36

Kodak Professional T-MAX TMY 400 135-36 is a 36-image high-sensitivity professional 35mm panchromatically sensitized black-and-white negative film whose flat grain structure provides fine grain, exceptional resolution, wide exposure flexibility, and high edge sharpness. The nominal sensitivity of Kodak Professional T-MAX TMY 400 135-36 film is ISO 400, but its extraordinary exposure flexibility guarantees it very good results even when overexposed (ISO 200) and underexposed (ISO 3200). This allows the film to capture a full range of tones as well as a seamless Push-Pull process. Its high image quality allows it to achieve very fine grain, which also contributes to the high sharpness of the photographs and allows the film excellent results when developing large format enlargements where it retains maximum image quality.

Practical application:

Exceptional quality film for versatile use. It can be successfully used not only for portrait, documentary, sports and journalistic photography, but also for landscape and advertising shots. For the Pull/Push process, the Kodak XTOL developer has proven itself to be an excellent choice, with which sensitivity can be increased by up to an incredible 3EV (ISO 3200).

Film processing:

Safe lighting for developing is either infrared light or complete darkness. Kodak Professional T-MAX TMY 400 135-36 film can be processed in all common negative developers (but Kodak T-MAX, Kodak D76, Ilford MICROPHEN, or Kodak XTOL are recommended). The developing bath should take ten minutes at a 1:1 dilution ratio for Ilford MICROPHEN, ten and a quarter minutes for Kodak D76, and for Kodak T-MAX the developing bath would be diluted 1:4 and the correct development length would be six and a half minutes. After the development time has elapsed, it is recommended to rinse the film briefly with distilled water, or to immerse it in a 2% acetic acid solution for 10s, or to use an intermittent bath of about half a minute in Kodak EKTAFLO Stop solution (Used with Kodak T-MAX developer). Film setting is recommended at 18-25°C, 2-4 min. in Kodak Polymax T Fixer diluted 1:3, 2-4 min. in Kodak Rapid Fixer, or a minimum of 2-5 min. in Ilford Rapid Fixer diluted 1:4. After setting, the film must be washed in running water for 20-30 min at wash water temperatures below 15°C, or 15 min at wash water temperatures above 15°C. It is recommended to finish the film processing by rinsing the washed film with distilled water or by immersion in a wetting agent solution. These times are only approximate, before using the film material we recommend to study the information provided by the manufacturer on the packaging or in the product data sheet.
