Product Description
On 9 October 2007, Kodak introduced the new KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 400 Black-and-White Film, Now the World's Sharpest, Finest-Grained 400-Speed Black-and-White Film
For decades, the world's greatest photographers have trusted Kodak's black-and-white films to help them achieve the best of their artistic visions. The new film, utilizing Kodak's patented T-GRAIN emulsions, delivers finer grain and higher sharpness. T-MAX 400 now stands alone as the world's finest grained and the world's sharpest 400-speed black-and-white film, offering photographers a level of clarity normally only available from a 100-speed film. T-GRAIN emulsions, first introduced 25 years ago, remain the gold standard in the photographic industry.
'The new T-MAX 400 film provides a grain structure that is superior to anything I've seen in a 400-speed film,' said noted photographer and master print maker John Sexton. 'That, combined with Kodak's legendary quality control and consistency, makes this film a most valuable tool.'
In a recent survey conducted by Kodak, professional photographers cited the benefits of black-and-white film. Although professional photographers acknowledge that digital cameras offer certain benefits, they said that film better captures certain images, particularly black-and-white photos. The majority (90 percent) of photographers produce black-and-white images, with 47 percent saying black-and-white photography allows them to create a certain look and feel and differentiate themselves. More than half of them (57 percent) prefer using film to achieve this desired effect.
This is a continuous-tone panchromatic black-and-white negative film especially useful for photographing dimly lighted subjects or fast action, for extending flash distance range, and for photographing subjects that require good depth of field and fast shutter speeds with maximum image quality for the film speed. It is also useful for scientific and biomedical work, especially when fluorescence photography is required. It has high speed (ISO 400/27? in most developers), very high sharpness, extremely fine grain, and high resolving power; it allows a high degree of enlargement.
