Professional T-Max 400 Black and White 35mm Film - 5 Rolls

Kodak T-Max 400, 5-Roll Pack — a low-commitment way to test fine-art film work

The gist: A smaller pack of Kodak's sharpest 400-speed black-and-white film, a lower-cost way to trial a fine-art or editorial B&W project before buying in bulk.

• Grain/sharpness: T-Grain technology, RMS granularity 10 — meaningfully finer than traditional-grain films at the same speed.
• Contrast/dynamic range: Wide dynamic range and flat contrast, forgiving for post-processing and scanning.
• ISO: 400 speed suits most available-light shooting without added gear.
• Format: Standard 35mm/24-exposure rolls.

Analogue Wonderland's direct test found T-Max noticeably sharper in fine detail than Tri-X, thanks to its modern emulsion (analoguewonderland.co.uk).

Best for: Testing a fine-art or portfolio-building black-and-white project before scaling up to the 10-roll pack. Skip it if: you already shoot street/documentary work where Tri-X's grittier look fits better. Runs ~$55 for 5 rolls — check the current price before buying.
