Review on Kodak 856 8214 Pro 400 Tmax B&W Negative Film 120 (ISO 400) 5 Roll Pack by Chelsea Collins

I like to use Tmax in situations where it's appropriate. You should do your own experimentation and research to see if it's right for you, but I believe it delivers on what Kodak says. At least for me it is. I like to use it when working in low light with my Mamiya RZ67. I also use size 135 in my Nikon F6 and get amazing results. Great for fine art, especially still lifes, landscapes, replicas and anything where shadows are emphasized. I've used it in all sorts of shooting situations in both formats and have found it gives consistent results, not difficult to use if you've ever used something Tmax similar like the Ilford Delta. Even if you have used Tri-X before, finding the right Tmax is not difficult. It's also easy to develop! I developed it in D-76, Xtol, Ilfosol, Ilfotec DDX and Tmax developers. I like the results of Xtol and Ilfotec DDX best and often find myself combining the two. I'm using the default stock/dilution volumes as outlined in the Digital Truth Developer Chart. Of course, Ilfosol isn't designed for this kind of film speed, but you might like the results. The emulsion is great, the plastic is thick and stays flat, and the printed images are just wonderful. I even scanned this film and got amazing results on my cheap Epson V600 tablet. Retouching is also possible at 120, but I've found that it can be more difficult with this modern film than with Tri-X.
