Introduced in 1986 alongside Kodak TMax 400, TMax 100 helped usher in a new generation of Kodak black and white film emulsions. TMax features a tabular "t-grain" pattern to its film grain, allowing the film's sensitivity to be higher without making the film grainier. This makes TMax 100 a very smooth and fine-grained film. It also boasts exceptional sharpness and superb resolution. If you love detail in your images, grab a roll of TMax 100. This film also has a wide latitude, making it very forgiving of exposure, and needs less-than-usual exposure compensation when making long exposures. It will make your 35mm shots seem like they were done on medium format, and your medium format images will look like the work of large format.
One of our staff recently made a trip out east to New York City. Whenever (and wherever) they travel they nearly always take along a pinhole camera. On this trip they opted for their Reality So Subtle 6x6 Dual since they figured the rise function of the upper pinhole would be well-suited for the vertical nature of Manhattan and the rest of New York City. They opted for a few different film options, using Ilford FP4, Kodak Portra 160 and TMax 100 on this trip. This small collection are six of their favorite images made from the roll of TMax 100.
