TMAX 3200

Looking back at the heyday of my experimentation with film photography (ca. 2008-13), it’s disconcerting to see how many of the types of film I tried have since gone out of production. One which bucked that trend, becoming unavailable, only later to be brought back on to the market, was Kodak T-MAX P3200. This is an ideal film to use in lower-light conditions, and hence a good option (in the Northern Hemisphere) at this time of year.

The present images are from a roll I shot in Karlskrona, Sweden (where I then lived), one drab December afternoon. I used my Nikon FM3a - quite likely with the 45mm f/2.8 P lens. I didn’t in this case attempt to develop the film myself at home, sending it off instead to a company called Crimson (evidently still in business). A couple more shots from the same roll: 1, 2.
