Kodak T-Max 400 Professional film is a continuous-tone panchromatic black-and-white negative film. 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.

Comments about Kodak TMY 120 T-Max 400 Professional Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
This is my all around film that never leaves my camera. It's got great contrast and tones and can easily be pushed one or two stops if you choose to...Very sharp. prints well in the darkroom.

Comments about Kodak TMY 120 T-Max 400 Professional Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
Highest dynamic range I've seen thus far. Excellent for pushing as long as you use Tmax Dev or Tmax-RS Developers. I pushed it to 1600 and still get that fine grain TMax is known for even at 11x14 pictures. (I'm sure it will go even larger, I just have not tried it.)

Fantastic film for handheld use. Grain is small, on par with a traditional film of 125 ISO. Works well in a variety of developers. Pretty good sharpness with normal development in XTOL. Can be incredibly sharp if developed using a semi stand technique.

Comments about Kodak TMY 120 T-Max 400 Professional Black & White Print Film (ISO-400):
I picked up a roll initially to test a new TLR I had purchased at a yard sale and was very impressed with it's range and low grain. Since then, I have fed it through every 120 camera I have or borrow. Weather it is being fed through a $50 Lomo or a $5,000 Hasselbad, they quality and consistency is always spot on. I highly recommend this film to anyone wanting a "shoot all over" b&w 120 film.

I've been using it in a Kodak Duaflex II and Brownie Hawkeye Flash I bought them at the antique store for $5 each. I'm getting great pictures with very basic cameras. Love the film. I also use the 100 speed T-max.

I recently purchased 120 film for my Mamiya C330 film camera from B&H and they were not only the cheapest price around [...]. I have ordered most of my camera equipment from B&H [...]. The film itself is superb and quality is amazing [...] Keep it up B&H!

I like TMY 400 better in 120 than 35mm as it has less curl - so I can get it into the scanner more quickly. The grain and sharpness is excellent and the price is right. Tmax film I find benefits from a slightly longer fixer time. My only wish is that Kodak start making this in 620 as well, so we could use all the old Kodak cameras,,,

I needed to use the T-Max 400 film for my photography class while experimenting with the Holga cameras. The film worked great, and worth the price.

I use this film in various medium format cameras, sometimes to test them out, and it performs reliably every single time. This film is consistent, quality, and the output is wonderful. I will continue to use it and recommend it to everyone I know.

I shoot this in either my Hasselblad or my Yashica TLR and I use T-max developer. Very easy to roll onto stainless steel reels and the tape adhesive has just the right stickiness. Super sharp, almost no grain to speak of. A consistent product that'll never let you down. Great exposure latitude, too.

Tmax 400 120mm film is my all around choice for outdoor portraiture. The grain is very fine now and when the clouds roll over I don't have to worry. Just use a reflective disc and it's better than any studio. Beautiful prints with this film.
