Kodak T-Max P3200

Oh boy, sometimes things they go the right way!

Five years after discontinuing the venerable P3200 Kodak decided to restart the production and in 2018 the familiar black-and-yellow boxes returned on the shelves. For those of you still scratching their heads I’m talking about the Kodak T-Max P3200, that is the professional 135 format film with the highest box-speed on the market. Since its introduction in 1988 it’s always been the favourite (almost mandatory) film to use at parties, weddings, concerts, smokey bars, poor-lit rooms etc. No serious photojournalist would go outside after sunset without some P3200 in the jacket. Sure there’s still the Ilford Delta 3200 available but when you’re a Kodak guy it’s difficult to change your minds; and they’re two different beasts anyway.

So, early this year I bought a couple of “new” P3200 for a wedding I shot in June. This is the remaining of the only roll I used, with some picture shot in Sicily during July. I don’t know why they’re mostly vertical.
