moodyskydiver 0 #1 January 21, 2008 I didnt put this in the photographer's forum b/c I dont know how many camera flyers out there would be interested in this,plus its not for freefall photography.But if it needs to be moved then so be it. I'm taking a Photography I college class and we are required to use TMAX 400 B&W film.Well,I accidentally bought 1 TMAX400 and 3 TX400.Neither are C41 processing and we have to do our own dark room work for the class anyway,so for any photo buffs out there, exactly what is the difference in these two films?I know theres a difference in the processing,the temp has to be different or the timing or something but I cant remember.I'll have to ask my prof after the holiday if I can still use this film b/c there isnt another store in town that carries TMAX400 and the store I bought it from is out of it since I bought the last roll they had.Help!

Interesting they'd have you working with Tmax before they've taught you much about exposure sensitivity? HERE is a dev time/solutions chart for both TMax100 and 400 stock.

mnealtx 0 #3 January 21, 2008 Are you sure it's TX 400 and not Tri-X 400? Regardless, this (Tri-X processing) may help. TMAX 400 processing info. Good luck!Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clownburner 0 #4 January 21, 2008 Assuming that by "TX400" you're talking about "Tri-X 400" by Kodak. No worries. It's the previous generation before TMax B&W films; the process is pretty much the same, but the older Tri-X will have more grain and less exposure latitude. If you're creative, you can use the extra grain for artistic effect. I always liked to print Tri-X on high-contrast paper for that "Film Noir" look. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HTH Thanks,but I think you misread my post.I'm supposed to be working with TMAX400 not TMAX100.I'm not sure why we're starting out w/Tmax instead of something else for our first darkroom class.I'm just going by what they told me to buy.But thanks for the great info!Mucho appreciatiative.(and yes Clownburner is right,its Tri-X 400 that I accidentally bought.But the box says both TX400 and Tri-X 400) "...just an earthbound misfit, I."
