Kodak T-Max 400 120 format - Expired 02/2017

Load your medium format camera with a modern legend of monochrome film photography. This is Kodak Professional T-Max 400 in 120 format, expired in February 2017.

T-Max 400 is world-renowned as the absolute pinnacle of high-speed black and white engineering, celebrated for providing the grain structure of a 100-speed film with the versatility of a 400-speed emulsion. Having expired less than a decade ago and being a black and white stock, this batch sits in a phenomenal "sweet spot" of reliability—giving you a beautifully crisp professional medium with just a touch of vintage analog soul.

The Highlights

• The T-Grain Revolution: T-Max was the pioneer of Kodak's patented tabular (T-Grain) technology. Instead of using traditional, pebble-like silver halide crystals, T-Grain utilizes flat, tabular crystals that capture light across a wider surface area. This means that even with age, this film resolves microscopic edge details, insane sharpness, and a remarkably tight, clean grain structure.

• Flawless Black & White Stability: Unlike colour films, which rely on delicate organic dyes that warp and shift over time, black and white films rely on stable metallic silver. Having expired in 2017, this batch has suffered virtually zero noticeable degradation, offering near-perfect box-speed performance and crisp tonal contrast.

• Incredible Shadow Latitude: T-Max 400 is famous for its massive exposure latitude. It handles high-contrast scenes beautifully, maintaining exceptionally clean, detailed highlights while digging deep into shadow zones to resolve rich texture.

• The Medium Format Canvas: Rendered across large 120 medium format negatives, the technical perfection of T-Max 400 delivers a striking, smooth, and hyper-realistic depth. It is highly sought after by fine-art printers and looks spectacular under high-resolution scanners.
