I can't name a finer grained 100 B&W film.
Good contrast for slower film.
Fairly forgiving on exposure.
Most versatile 35mm B&W film I have used.

Not available at enough stores.

I have shot drag races, buildings,sporting events,and even portraits and this film was above average for all of them. For people shots I develop with Microdol-x for fine grain. This film is ALMOST as good as Panatomic-x only with slightly better contrast. A perfectionist printer's dream film. Too bad it's not Panatomic.

greatest b+w film ever. i develop it at 75 degrees with d-76 for 6 1/2 minutes. compared to other film, its towers. i cant say enough good things about this film

with this film the word "weakness" loses all meaning.

bottom line is that this film is spectacular.

It's readily available...I truly don't know the strengths of this stuff as I'm not a serious lab person. READ ON

It's too expensive. Everything is too expensive!!!

Excuse my rambling...young couple asks if I can do an informal portrait, outdoors, and can I make it a large "picture"... a few days later I slaps an 85mm on the ol' F2, loads up with this TMAX 100 and went to work. Now folks, you just don't go much over 11x14 with 35mm and thats under optimum conditions...my jaw dropped when the lab guy tells me to look at this 20x24 he ran up...could I see grain, yes, at arms length...was it a sharp print, yes, very much so, and I don't mean just contrast sharp...bright overcast outdoor lighting, good photographic equipment, excellent processing and oh yeah, that Kodak film really worked out, I'm still amazed...

--Fine grain
--High acutance
--Inexpensive for a "pro" film
--Wide availability

--Contrast can get away from you if you're not careful with development

I use both 120 and 35mm TMX, outdoors and in the studio. I've gotten my best results using Xtol, DD-X and Tmax developers (Reviewers: PLEASE state the developer you used so we have some basis for evaluating your comments). I'm currently using DD-X as I feel that gives me the best combination of fine grain, sharpness and shadow detail. Xtol is as good or better but has been too inconsistant for me. I love the crisp tonality of TMX, but contrast needs to be controlled. I've had to keep careful track of development times and technique to avoid overdeveloping. I've pushed the film to 800 ASA and gotten good results with TMAX developer.

Works well when converted to transparency. Reasonable results in XTOL or PMK.

Very temperamental with processing variations, difficult to achieve results equal to the quality of non-tabular emulsions.

Not a particularly impressive film in my opinion. Better results can be achieved with FP4+, APX100 or Delta100 to a very slight degree.

I love this film for the way it performs. My kind of photography which tends to be a fair bit of low light, gritty noir type stuff jumps off the paper with the T-Max 100.

I can understand what people mean when they say it can be difficult and too contrasty. I think it all comes down to what you want out of your end print. For my money this is a beat all film and I shoot with nothing else in BW.

B-B-B-Bird Bird Bird said the Bird is the word! KILLER BW FILM!
You're still here? Go shoot a roll with a fast prime lense and tell me you didn't get the bug.

All the Ilford gear, Delta, Hp la de da. Not really impressed with the lack of punch re these above. Other BW films feel hmm very dull to me. Subjective ofcourse but hey it's my review.

excellent tone , gain , sharpness , very clear best film and I can use ASA 50 to gain more detail or use ASA 200 when I want more speed with in same develop ( with T-Max )

This film is hard to control, effect can be appear with a little change in develop process

This is very best ASA 100 B/W film I ever use. but If you want to use TMX you must to learn more about it you can go to www.Kodak.com to find all imfomation about this film

Although this film can be difficult, there's no denying that the fine grain and high sharpness and resolution are the very best available in this speed class. (I use it in a Minox and get virtually grainless 5x7s when developed in D-76 1:1.)

Contrast can be very high and highlights can block up. Exposure latitude, particularly on the overexposure side, is more limited than the old classic films. Accurate, repeatable processing is essential, but even so, TMX is a "temperamental" emulsion - amazing results and total losses can coexist on the same negative strip!

When you need the ultimate in fine grain and sharpness/resolution in a 100-speed b/w film, this is IT. But it can be difficult to handle and I wouldn't really recommend it for beginners... (But it's great to move up to after a couple of years learning technique on PX and TX!)

Kodak's documentation and CS is excellent.

Ilford Delta 100 - although others rave about this film, it was NOT a good experience. I'll stick with TMX. Also th

Good speed, fine grain, tonal range.

I also like the B&W slides I've processed from T-MAX using the special chemistry kit.

None

I like the results of developing this film in D-76 better than in T-Max developer. Don't let the name determine what you like best!
