It's going for $9.99/per everywhere else, so this is a nice way to save $30 on a brick. Free shipping over $75 as well.

Nice find! I'll do a little pre order to have some on hand. Maybe 10 rolls or so. Won't be my main film stock but it would be fun to have available

Anyone know how this works with Diafine?

 

[Keith]

I'll be surprised if this is affordable here in Oz. 100 Tmax is currently sixteen dollars per roll here!

Nice heads up thanks!

Why did kodak bring this back now?
This won’t save the company 😱

I still have some in my freezer. Seldom have the occasion to reach for it.
Wonder how well it’s holding up as far as speed and possibility of fogging.

I tried it many years ago. Grain like boulders. Not what people usually mean when they say TMZ in HC-110 or whatever gives you "grain like boulders". I mean *real* boulders, the kind you can catapult against your enemy's fortress to breach the walls just before you launch your invasion across the moat.

I was reading someplace the past few days (FPP?) where Kodak is looking to expand their film portfolio. Tmax 3200 was a logical choice.

I too, found a few rolls in the freezer. One is now in my old FTb. A few more shots to take then I can process it.

If it's like Delta 3200 it will be unusable four or five years past expiration. I had a dozen rolls I kept frozen that was unusable within a few years of expiration. High speed films don't keep well.

Thanks for the tip. I'm usually much more interested in slow speed films such as Rollei RPX 25, as I'm in the Southern USA, where the sun is quite intense. However, I am curious about this film, so I ordered it from Cinestill via your link.

 

[Chuffed Cheese]

good price. hope it's not vaporware.

I've got some TMAX3200 expired 02/2012 - the most recent roll I developed was 02/2016, and the results were still good. Sounds like I need to use it soon or lose it, if your experience is indicative. Thanks.

 

[rfaspen]

Oh, figured it wouldn't keep for long. My last roll (rolls, I discovered another) expired 2014. I guess I should find a reason to load em up before they become "collector's items". I feel better about my long expired Pan-X and Ilford Pan-F because slow films are slower to fog...but that's another story.

I may order up some TMZ just to have in the selection. It had its place and use.

As much as I like to support the local outlets, the prices of film here at the end of the Earth are ludicrous.

Keith, I'm still going through the HP5+ you got for me in a bulk purchase. I wonder if there's a risk of xray damage if we get some from the US, given its sensitivity?

In my experience, there is no risk. I only use 400 iso film when I travel abroad and in many cases my gear will get multiple x-ray scans. I never noticed anything that would imply that it was affected by the x-ray.

 

[sebastel]

no 120, however.

As I recall, it doesn't work with Diafine. Flat negs.

I've been able to get from extremely smooth grain all the way to golf ball grain with this film. At first I developed it in TMAX developer and it was very smooth. Then, I went with XTOL and at higher dilutions it was also quite smooth and scans very well. With Rodinal 1:30 it gets quite crunchy but I like that. It's a film that, in my experience, with some experimentation can take on a lot of different looks.

It won't. They took it off from production because it was not purchased enough.
These days with f1.1 and 1.4, 1.5 lenses available for moderately low price, it is going to be dead product as soon as novelty factor dies within few months time frame.

Releasing 3200 film on the year time then daylight is increasing in most of the countries for Kodak market shows how lost they are.

I don't need this film even for six bucks. I could get close enough result even with Kentmere 400.

Nothing Kodak does in the film division will save the company. It is too small a part of their business as a whole. While I am not interested in TMax3200, I know some people are, and I am happy for them that they have their film back. Same with Ektachome.
