Kodak T-Max 100

In productionBW

Kodak describes it as a medium-speed (ISO 100/21) panchromatic film with extremely high sharpness, extremely fine grain and very high resolving power, good for detailed subjects and copying (F-4016, June 2018). Kodak calls it the world's finest-grain 100-speed black-and-white film.

Sheet film listed as 4x5 (Wikipedia list). Eastman Kodak sells it as Ektapan 100 in the US and Canada from March 2026 (Wikipedia list); Kodak's pages do not say so.
