from B&H Summary:
I really like this film as an alternative to traditional b&w in a darkroom. I just finished taking a photography course and afterwards realized that I would not be able to maintain a darkroom at home, due to cost and space.
I've only shot one roll, so this may be a premature review, but here goes....This film really handles outdoor portraits well, with or without flash. I had it printed on matte surface paper (Kodak Endura) by a local pro lab. Looks great, no color cast that I can see. Full tonal scale is apparent in the prints. When I look at the prints compared to some of the prints I made in the darkroom, I must say that they hold up very well. I did take the portrait shots in early evening light which were all great. Had a few frames left over that I burned in midday light which didn't turn out as well. Harsh shadows didn't have much detail, but were still acceptable.
Sharp film too. Strengths:
Great skin tones and displays full tonal range. Saves one hell of a lot of time over darkroom processing.
For a 400 speed film, I was surprised by how much detail was captured by the negatives.
Portraits with flash really pop and stand out from the background. Weaknesses:
Not cheap, hard to find locally. Similar Products Used:
Kodak T-max 100
