Kodak TMY 8 x 10" (Improved) 400 Professional Black & White Negative (Print) Film (ISO-400) (10 Sheets)

Kodak has improved on an already good product. They have maintained T-Max 400 Professional Film as a continuous-tone panchromatic black-and-white negative film but "bumped up" the caliber of the grain as well as enhanced the sharpness.

This film 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.

Improvements in T-Max 400

Kodak has incorporated a UV barrier into the new 35mm films to prevent inadvertent backside static exposure

Some slight adjustments in development time required

New packaging

The backside of the film is darker, and more blue/black when viewed prior to processing

Kodak T-Grain Emulsion

Allows films with extremely fine grain to be made faster; high-speed films have finer grain; T-MAX Professional Films offer the best of both worlds: high speed and fine grain

Improved sharpness

Maintains subject detail in prints at higher degrees of magnification than conventional films

Expanded exposure latitude

Greater "forgiveness" with overexposure errors; quality prints from moderately under- or overexposed negatives; better highlight separation

Improved reciprocity at long and short exposure times

Less compensation required than with conventional films
