Kodak 400 TMAX Professional ISO 400 Black & White Film – 5 Pack (36 Exposures)

Kodak 400 TMAX Professional: Fine-grain, high-detail black-and-white film

The Kodak 400 TMAX Professional film blends speed with exceptional tonal range and sharpness, making it a versatile choice for serious black-and-white shooting. Designed as a continuous-tone panchromatic negative, it delivers very fine grain for a 400-speed film and supports large enlargements without sacrificing detail. The film’s performance is notable in low light and fast-action scenarios, and it can be pushed to EI 1600 to push tonal control in demanding conditions. This combination of speed, grain structure, and resolving power helps prints maintain detail even as magnification increases, giving you more latitude in post-processing and viewing distance.
