WHAT CAROL McLAUGHLIN, TECH REP FOR EASTMAN KODAK, HAS TO SAY ON UNDERSTANDING TMAX FILMS |
| * They have slightly less blue sensitivity than current films developed to have the sensitivity of the human eye, therefore, blues may be recorded slightly darker. * The film speed between daylight and tungsten will not vary. * Reciprocity is greatly improved. * The emulsion particles have been restructured allowing for an improvement in sharpness with less grain. PROCESSING TIPS * Best results are at 73 degrees or slightly higher. * These films react more rapidly to development changes than others. A 15 degree change corresponds to a 30 degree change with other films. * The pink color cast in the negative is harmless. It is a residual sensitizing dye that can be removed with rapid fix or increased agitation in the fix. It will not affect printing or archival qualities. * D-76 produces slightly less grain. * TMAX DEVELOPER produces better shadow detail. * Can push process with excellent results in TMAX DEVELOPER. * TMAX REVERSAL KIT is available for TMAX 100 and TECH PAN films. * If your processing is producing a flat negative, try processing at 73 degrees. AGITATION is also very important--you may need to agitate a little more than with other films. INTERVIEW COURTESY OF PRO CAMERA IN DALLAS, TEXAS---THANKS! |
