Sure!
People confusing zone focusing with shooting from the hip.
Maybe some bitter people feeling unhappy with their photography or their lives too... But who knows?
And that's not this thread's subject, as OP says.
Iphone shot of a print, tmax 100.
Everything that can be said is said in this simple shot:
-not muddy
-correct focus
-correct composition
-iso 100
-acceptable depth of field
-acceptable print

You all keep walking into juans traps of dogmatic babble disguised as innocent questions
Meh. He’s always come across as a passive aggressive innocentino.
It is just different than other films, so one has to learn how to take advantage of it.
You need to know exactly what a meter (or foot) is and feels like.
Get a solid measuring stick (not a folding yardstick) and play around with it.
Keep it nearby as often as possible.
You need to internalize and get a visual feel for that single measure of distance.
It’s often longer than people think, and with other people sometimes less.
You need to calibrate yourself.
Get a cheap laser rangefinder.
You can use it indoors and for stills, but it’s actually more useful for photography in teaching you to judge distance and giving you confidence in your own ability to do so.
Take up the same hobby as Shigeru Miyamoto:

Even scanned, Tmax 100 behaves extremely well. I would consider to call muddy something like Foma 200, or Kentmere 100 but not Tmax. It may not be the most apparently sharp film but it resolves small details extremely well and preseves the tonality very nicely too.TMax muddy ?????????????????????????????????? On which planet? Doesn't enlarge well? Do you use a Coke bottle for an enlarging lens? Ordinary folks didn't scan anything when TMax films came onto the market. It was meant for optical enlarging and contact prints from day one, with relatively minor improvements since then.
I didn't say I don't use it. I said many people think it's too flat for things like street photography (since I can't use "muddy"). That I don't like enlarging it is just my own preference (although I do enlarge it frequently).
Really didn’t know that. Any sources on that? Thought TMax developer was the target?This is the sad world we’re in today.
The “many people” you are refering to are internet nobodies. And those same “many people” are probably stand-developing Tmax100 because they heard other “many people” recomending stand development.
In the end, “many people” end up with shitty results from a film that is probably the best film on the market, by having butchered it.
Let’s not forget that tmx was formulated with D76 as its main developer. It was tailored around D76. Amazing combo.
I was thinking more along the lines of three feet at a time.Easy, a foot is a foot. It's three feet? Guess that's about three steps. I never had an issue with it, never bothered with a rope or a stick.
Hi,
Do the films you like give you an option for zone focusing with ISO100 film?

Isn't that the case with almost all film being used? I mean, obviously "internet nobodies" would ruin any film they get their hands on. Also obvious, the "internet somebodies" do a far better job....
You are forgeting a very important detail: we are talking about TMX100, an extremely good film.
Here are Tmax100 samples in 6x7 and 4x5. You have to look at each to see which is which.Can we see more peoples examples of Tmax 100?
