Test results regarding the keeping qualities of Kodak T-Max 400 by Clay Harmons
As posted on the APUG forum:
Okay, a few people have asked me to carry out this test, as I have some experience with T-Max 400 special orders. I purchased 5x7 TMY in July 2001. The expiry date on the box was July 2003. I kept it in the freezer until sometime in 2004. It has been stored at room temperature since then. An unexposed sheet developed in Pyrocat HD at a ratio of 1:1:50 for 10 minutes at 68 degrees gave the following base + fog readings:
Visual 0.11
Blue (Ortho) 0.15
UV 0.35
I chose a staining developer because it represents a sort of worst-case scenario for us alternative process workers. As it gets older, it should be no problem to switch to using a non-staining developer for the remainder of its life.
This should give people a sense of how well this film will keep. It keeps pretty well, apparently! So place your orders! I’m guessing that it should be good for another few years given the data I’ve just noted.
Other notes about TMY: I have noticed that it is particularly sensitive to X-ray screening at airports. I mark my boxes when they go through the machine, and I NEVER put film through more than twice. I learnt this the hard way. I took two return trips a few years back and ended up with really high fog levels. This is no surprise given the film’s tremendous reciprocity characteristics.
