Kodak T-Max P3200 Black and White Film

Kodak T-Max P3200 Black and White Film 

DESCRIPTION

This multi-speed continuous-tone panchromatic black-and-white negative film lets you photograph in situations that were previously impossible. P3200 film provides a notable combination of high to ultra-high film speeds with finer grain than that of other fast black-and-white films on the market. Ultra-high film speed for very low light or scientific photography. Wide exposure latitude. Use T-MAX P3200 Film: when you need to capture very fast action, for dimly lighted scenes where you can't use flash, on subjects that require good depth of field combined with fast shutter speeds or for handholding telephoto lenses for fast action or in dim light. Speed: EI 800/25000. Formats: 35 mm.

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.

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:

none, just don't forget to set your ASA. or you'll be way off.

great film! i highly recommend it for these uses:
1. indoors
2. live concerts (no need for an annoying flash! )
3. if you like grain, like i do. check out samples here: http://www.galang.com/live.html it's de la soul live. it's hard to see on screen, but i enlarged these images to 24 x 30 and it looks rich and sharp.

Another great grainy film is Recording FIlm. It's a little flatter than the 32

Model Reviewed: 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.
