I saw advertised new: T-Max 100 in glass plates! Glad I'd not have to wetplate coat my own T grain emulsion! I hear it's kind of RUNNY! http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/ti1678/ti1678.shtml Medium speed, continuous tone, black-and-white panchromatic emulsion with performance characteristics identical to KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 100 Professional Film 4052 Coated on KODAK Selected Flat glass support, with anti-halation backing KODAK T-GRAIN emulsion technology produces maximum detail, extremely fine grain, and excellent resolution Low to medium contrast Panchromatic (approximately "Class D") sensitivity Designed for exposure at EI 100 to 400 Excellent reciprocity characteristics for both short and long exposures Intended for scientific applications and precise photographic systems, such as photomicrography, electron micrography, astrophotography, stereo photography, and other situations where flatness and high dimensional stability are essential Available in a wide variety of catalog listed and special-order sizes. Nadar, my favorite photog of late used them. But I'm sure he used Tri X instead of T-Max! I'm dying to do some work in glass. And will some day. But not in 35mm I don't think. Can we put them in the back of a Rolleiflex in that cut sheet adaptor thing i wonder?
