Kodak - T-MAX 400 film

By Mike Lowe

Is film dead? Apparently not - Kodak's reintroduction of the classic T Max 400 Black & White film seems to show that there is still a market out there.

The new film is the world's sharpest and finest-grained 400-speed B&W film, pushable up to ISO 1600.

Colour film these days is a fair issue - standard scans from 35mm down your local standard lab are, er, rather "standard" (i.e. crap).
Plus getting anyone to develop anything outside of 35mm can be tricky outside of London (or the odd photo lab in a cheap-rent business park). Those looking to develop medium or large format in colour may struggle to do so.

Perhaps this is where black and white film fits into a DIY home-processing workload. You can ...
