New T-Max 400 TMY - Scanning is much improved

Many photographers have said Film is Dead. Well, Kodak didn't get the memo. They have recently released an improved version of their excellent T-Max 400. I picked up a roll and shot it in the New Jersey Botanical Gardens.

Here is an example:


This was shot with a Canon Elan 7NE with the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L zoom lens. Center-weighted averaging metering. Developed with D-76, full strength.

Here is a link to Amazon.com for the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L lens. Check it out!

Although you can't tell from this image, the grain seems finer then T-Max 400, and a lot finer then Tri-x 400. I scanned it on the Nikon Coolscan V ED. This is the easiest scanning film I have come across. It makes me wonder if they made the changed to the film just to improve its scannability. Just awesome!

Check out the info on Kodak's page on the new T-Max 400, pick up a roll and give it a shot. You will love it.
