If "they" did so, it is only appropriate to mention that there is no collective (need a Borg cube) and the very fact that some individuals are not impressed by that film is a sure indication of their need to re-education. The Tmax 400 is an outstanding emulsion with capablities that takes time and expertise to be appreciated. I am always surprised by that casual "I-shot-a-few-rolls-and-I-am-not- impressed"-thing. To know an emulsion takes some controlled experiments amd if you do not wish to conduct them any comment is irrelevant (in a Vulkan way). If you cannot get the results you want from Tmax 400, why blame Kodak? Maybe look at yourself for a while and be sincere! Most emulsions are far more capable in capturing reality than Leica users are prepared to acknowledge. I could quote from Donald Duck! Erwin
