Hi Jerry and all !
I like that Tmax 800, Tmax 400, Tmax 200 just fine !
The faster ones are good for Telephoto action shots like Blue Whales

http://flzhgn.home.mindspring.com/rorquals.htm - I used a Vivitar
75-300mm f 4.5
The Tmax 200 is one of my favorites for color prints. I think these
films use the
Kodak T-grain technology. The Tmax 200 seems as fine grained as the 100
speed.
My favorite color print film was the Royal Gold 25. I haven't usedit
in a long time.
I wish I had a roll for my XA2 ! Is Ektar 25 still available ?
