Kodak T-Max P3200

ISO 800 / 3200 N&B medium all levels

~14–16 €

A multi-speed B&W film — true native ISO of 800, designed to be pushed to ISO 3200 or beyond. The 'P' in P3200 stands for 'Push'. T-Grain technology delivers surprisingly fine grain at this ISO. High contrast, excellent shadow retention even when pushed. EI range of 400 to 25,000. 35mm only. Relaunched in 2018 after being discontinued in 2012. Rebranded Ektapan P3200 by Eastman Kodak in 2026.

Atouts

+ Remarkably fine grain for its ISO

+ EI range of 400 to 25,000 depending on development

+ Reliable and predictable at box speed (3200)

+ Ideal for night, concerts, indoors without flash

+ Exceptional resistance to reciprocity failure

Limites

− True ISO is 800 — the 3200 is a push (tell the lab)

− 35mm only — no 120

− Grain visible even at box speed

− Sensitive to airport X-rays at 3200+

− High price for a B&W film

A Blue Moon Camera tester pushed it to EI 102,400 — the images were still usable after an hour-long development. Discontinued in 2012, relaunched in 2018. In 2026, Eastman Kodak rebranded it Ektapan P3200 — technically the same emulsion.
