35mm Black-and-White Film Kodak T-MAX 400 135-24 Exposure ISO 400

Kodak T-MAX 400 35mm black-and-white film, 135 format with 24 exposures and ISO 400 sensitivity, is a silver‑halide photographic film engineered for versatile use. It delivers a fine-grained image structure and a wide tonal range suitable for diverse lighting conditions, from daylight to low-light scenes. The film is compatible with standard 35mm cameras and is intended for conventional black-and-white development processes used by photo labs or darkroom enthusiasts.

Advantages

This film combines high nominal sensitivity with controlled grain, offering a balance between speed and image detail. It renders smooth midtones and rich blacks while preserving highlight detail, making it practical for portraits, street photography and documentary work. Its 24-exposure roll fits standard 35mm camera spools and is compatible with commonly available developers and scanning workflows, simplifying processing and reproduction.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography in mixed lighting
• Street and documentary photography
• Low-light and indoor shooting without flash
• Action and reportage where higher shutter speeds are needed

How to use

Load the 35mm film into any camera accepting 135 cartridges following the camera manufacturer’s instructions. Expose at ISO 400 nominally; adjust exposure (push or pull) as needed for creative effect or specific lighting situations and note exposure changes for development. After shooting, have the roll developed using standard black-and-white chemistry at a photo lab or process it in a home darkroom with appropriate temperature and agitation controls. For scanning, use a high-resolution film scanner or service to capture the tonal detail.

Usage recommendations

For balanced results, develop according to recommended times for your chosen developer and maintain consistent agitation. When shooting in very low light or for increased contrast, consider slight push-processing and test exposures to match your workflow. Store unused film in a cool, dry place and refrigerate for extended shelf life; allow refrigerated film to reach room temperature before loading.
