I had such a good experience with my Agfa Isolette III last weekend that I loaded another roll into it this week. This time I loaded it with Kodak Tmax 100. I rated it at box speed and shot all twelve frames over the course of a few days just driving around.

I parked and hopped out of my car at 13th & Mosley and shot a frame of the outdoor machinery of Cargill. A woman in a nearby business was very suspicous of me and my activity. She wasn’t brave enough to talk to me but she did give me the stink eye and snapped a few phone pics of me and my car. If my likeness shows up on a Wanted poster, you’ll know why.

This was my first time using Tmax 100 since high school. Back then we developed with Kodak D-76. While I have some of the ’76 on hand, I developed this roll in Rodinal 1:25 for six mintues at the standard 68°. Rodinal performs well with slow film and I figured this would be a nice combination to try. When I poured out the developer, I was surprised (but not alarmed) that it had turned light purple. I’ve seen this before and it’s not a big deal, I just wasn’t expecting it. At first blush, I was pleased with how the negatives turned out. After scanning them, I was still pleased but not blown away. As compared to Kentmere, they just seem a little muddy. I like my whites to have more punch.
