Strength:
You are entering a different world.
Weakness:
Expensive. Hard to develop. When use with red filter under very strong light shooting tree trunks far behind, the almost carbon like image is stunning! It's artistic, it's abstract, it's surreal! I find it best rated at 3200 rather than at 800. My local lab is charging extra 50% for pushing, not fair. Does the p next to 3200 means 'pushing'? Why doesn't it says on the box that it is actually a 800 film but not 3200? I feel like being cheated everytime I have it developed.

TMAX P3200 Black & White
Strength:
The grain. As with others, you can't ask for much better given the speed of the film. It is just about the only film you can use for some of those hard-to-shoot, low-light situations, and it give GOOD results. And pushing it to 6400 really doesn't affect the grain much at all.
Weakness:
Be careful processing it yourself. As good as the grain is, even a little slipshod processing can reduce the quality of images substantially. Great for its ability to let you take those shots you might not get otherwise. It's great for fast, indoor or low light sports where using a flash isn't a viable option.

Strength:
The grain! It's all about the grain and texture. The image gets this old film look. and you can enlarge the images to 24 x 30 on a 35 mm. and retain the sharpness and crisp.
Weakness:

TMAX P3200 Black & White
Strength:
It's fast! Grain is fine for such a high speed film.
Weakness:
It is DX coded at 3200 but is actually an 800 speed film. It's fast! Grain is pretty good, even at ASA 6400. One of the only film choices for night sports in non-professional stadiums. There is not much difference in grain from 3200 to 6400. Similar Products Used: None |
