First Images TMax 3200 by PetaPixel

FWIW, I did not find those images indicative of what the possibilities with this film are, though they must represent the results that person got with the way he exposed and processed it.
I doubt I ever would have used the film if that was the only look on offer.
A long slow walk through the TMax 3200 section on filmdev.org would give a better idea of what this film “looks like”, even with the proviso that those are not always lab controlled results which necessarily followed strict protocols.

Larry,

Finally got in and had a minute to check that link. Thank you!!! How did you find that link?

You are, of course, absolutely correct about those images being more characteristic with different "recipes".

I will definitely buy a few rolls and see how it goes.

I just spent some time with other films and developers...those recipes are pretty cool to see the differences in FP4 and HP5 among others.

Any idea how long an exposure I can get before reciprocity problems kick in?

Kodak doesn't give reciprocity characteristics beyond 1s, probably figuring that 1s @ EI 3200 is very, very dark. I found that by 10s you needed to add 0.5 stop. This is consistent with TMY.

I also have been able to get quite smooth grain using this film (the old version, I don't know the new one) with xtol 1:1. Tmax developer (1:3 I believe) also works well for low grain images.

Thank you. The most important thing is to load up, get out, and keep taking photos. Technique just needs to be adequate.

In Namibia, every tourist climbs, photographs, whatever, Dune 45.

That one was shot by Peter Eastway, at a workshop of his I took in the 1990s he told me it was shot on TMZ developed in Rodinal.

When you go, unsurprisingly if you have an imagination, the place is packed.

TMZ @ EI 1000, Xtol 1+1 again.

Marty, EI 1000 seems to be a sweet spot! 🙂
