EASY TO USE
This camera has worked on my mind for a few years now ever since its introduction in 1999.As a long time Nikon owner, I avioded buying one.I mean it's not the most beautiful camera in the world.But at last it began to look good to me, I mean really good and I decided I must own one.But, alas, they are nearly out of production.I had to settle for a well cared for used one.The camera works like a dream.The controls are easy to locate and easy to use, even in the dark.They glow.There is a limited production still available in stainless and titanium and I think the Dynax european edition is still available if you can locate one.The limited edition sells for ahefty $2500. and is currently back ordered.Get one if you can and the heck with anyone who tells you its not pro and ugly.

No Regrets
I have owned the Maxxum 9 for about a year now and have no complaints. I bought it because of the good reviews I read on the internet. Very tough camera. I use it frequently. I purchased 2 interchangeable lenses for it and I am satisfied with the operation and the outcome of my pictures, which I also need to include is the are 21 Custom Funcions.

Pro Camera from the mind of MInolta
I have spent a lot of time in camera stores and I have always thought Minolta products always got unfairly shoved to the side. The notion that Minolta cameras and lenses are inferior to Nikon and Canon is crap, and is perpetuated by certain camera snobs and self-proclaimed experts. I shoot regularly as an advanced amateur and I own and use the Maxxum 9. I feel that it is the most intuitive 35mm professional camera out there. The quality of construction is first rate, on par with the best that Nikon and Canon have to offer. The camera has a solid feel, everything about it is high quality.The control layout is so self-explanatory that most photographers can learn to use the camera in 5 minutes without flipping through the manual.With respect to lenses. I still run into narrow-minded people who ask me which "Nikkors" I use upon seeing my photographs, and then these self-proclaimed "experts" simply refuse to believe me when I inform them that my images are all created with Minolta AF cameras and lenses. No, I am not kicking Canon and Nikon products, obviously they are very good, several million pros using those systems cannot be wrong about them. But pretentious "camera aficionados" who slight the Maxxum 9 don't know what they are missing out on. I am sold on the Minolta Maxxum 9.When choosing lenses go for the G-Series, optically they are cut every bit as good as the very best lenses Nikon and Canon make. I've shot pictures with all these brands and even established pros who shoot with other systems admit that my images are just as sharp as any they've seen or made. And they absolutely love the 9's layout. Minolta would do well to stay with the Maxxum 9's basic concept when designing their future pro cameras.Now if they would only make a full frame digital body based on the Maxxum 9........... ...

Great Film
This film seems a lot better than Kodak Max 400 even though it is basically the same thing (except for the fact that it's black and white).I wouldn't recommend this for proffesionals, but it's great for the average person.

All right
I took my first pictures ever using this film and it came out looking all right.I suppose it wasn't crystal clear, but that was probably my fault.I also think it has problems with low light.Is that my fault?Probably.Who knows, it was nice to get it developed at Target, though.

Great B&W Film For A Novice

Editorial Review

Kodak T-Max 400 Professional film offers high speed, very high sharpness, extremely fine grain, and high resolving power. It's especially useful for shooting fast action, for dimly lit scenes where you can't use flash, for subjects that require good depth of field combined with fast shutter speeds, and for hand-holding telephoto lenses for fast action or in dim light. This film is also useful for scientific and biomedical work, especially when fluorescent photography is required. ... Read more

Good film, horrible price!
I couldn't believe this price... and it's "clearance"?! Shop around for 5 minutes and you'll find it easily for under $4.

A Versatily, beautiful film, with a lot of "snap"
As a long term Ilford user, I was reluctant to even try the Kodak TMax and determined not to like it. After 2 rolls it became my favorite film. The latitude is great.It was highly versatile even when over or under exposed.The contrast is like nothing I've ever seen in an amateur film. My negatives looked great from the get go, reducing the need for contrast corrections during print processing. I've never used a fi;m (as a serious student, not a professional) with better contrast and clarity. I found it has much better contrast and finer grain structure than the Ilford HP5, which was the film I used previously. It's versatility makes it a good film for point and shoot, but it's also a great film for the more advanced amateur or serious student. I LOVE it! The only negative is that it seems ot be a higher contrast film and you on't get as wide a range of grays as you would get with other fi;ms, but for an amteur, this fi;m is usually sufficient, and it more than makes up for it with ease of use. If I get more grays, but have to make the print grainy because I need a 4+ filter, then it cancels out any impact getting more grays would give me, in my experience.

New technology loser
Traditional black and white films are still around (Kodak Tri-X and Ilford HP5+) at least for the time being.Either choice has better latitude and produces better results--dependent on the processing, of course.There is a learning curve to T-Max film to make good-looking pictures.Be forewarned. ...

Kodak High Definition 400 Speed film
The color is much better than Kodak Max 400 speed and the pictures are much clearer.

A good consumer based film.
Does anyone here remember Kodak Royal Gold? Well this film is the same thing, just re-packaged in a spiffy new "HD" box. Overall the quality of prints made from this film are pretty darn sharp, even on cloudy days. Note that in some situations bright subjects will result in cartoonish colors which seem to bleed into each other. The grain is minimal as far as amateur based film is concerned, and in my opinion it outperforms Fuji Superia X-tra 400. Considering that Kodak UC400 is now available in various common department stores for about 2 dollars more, I'm ditching HD for the far less grainy professional UC line of film.

Good Film

Great film!
I use this film just normally for everyday stuff.It isn't grainy when you enlarge the photos, and the colors are just outstanding.I use the 800 for the really important stuff though because I think the colors are more vibrant.But, for just vacations, stuff around the house, the 400 will do a great job.Anything less it basically a waste of money.I shoot at least a roll a week just of everyday life and this is the one that I choose all the time.I have a basket full!

I love this film
This film has great color production and performance.The price is also just right.You can't go wrong with the Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400.

Best all around film
Modern 400 speed films are better in every way than the slow 100 speed films when I first started shooting 35mm.Because of this I see no reason to shoot anything slower than ISO 400 these days.Of all the color films I like Fuji Superia the best; the colors are rich and saturated without looking unatural.Grain and sharpness are very good for a fast film.This is now my standard film.I buy bricks of Fuji Superia X-TRA and onsies and twosies of everything else and my pictures have never looked better. ...

Best 800 Speed Film on the Market
This is a pretty amazing film, all things considered.It's fast with less grain than some 400 speed films, imo.Colors are as vivid as it gets for a film this speed, and it can be used outdoors. This film is very versatile. So much so, that I generally use this now instead of 400 speed films.It's also quite inexpensive. Don't even bother with the Kodak 800 speed films. Though more readily available, this Fuji product is /way/ superior in every respect.

Rich colors, especially for landscapes
A few years ago I discovered by accident that this 800 film produces vibrantly colorful prints in all levels of light.Now I use it in bright, sunny locations without hesitation, as well as indoors, and with flash.Outdoor scenes with lots of greenery are especially saturated with color.
Awesome film!
I use this film in my Canon Rebel and just love it!Most of what I take looks like a postcard with this film.I've photographed things in the worst lighting conditions with no problems whatsoever with this film.It can be light at times, depending on the developer, but all-in-all, I'm VERY satisfied with this film and buy it quite frequently.Most of what I use it for are photographs of family, but it is also used for items pictured on ebay and it just does a wonderful job.I can't recommend this film enough! ...

Perfect film for SLRs.
If you have a 35mm SLR camera, it's hard to beat this film. It's plenty fast enough, and the grain is amazing. Even if you have a small, compact camera, while you may have some trouble, this film is great. Make sure you DON'T get it developed at a grocery store or wall-mart type place: this will make any film look horrible. At least go to your local ritz/wolf camera, or use a lab. You'll see the difference. Ultimatly, A superb film.

Good value for the price
We used the film with a cheap camera on our last trip and I truely didn't have my expections too high but all pictures came out nicely. Pictures we took in the evening did not come out as clear (greyish), possibly due to the quality of the camera. All in all - Strongly recommend.

Great versitility at an exceptional value
Kodak makes great film, and Gold Max is one of their best amature films.This film provides maximum versitility for outdoor sports, and for the decently lighted indoor shots.Grain structure is good, holding well up to an 8"x10" print.Best part about this film is the price...I think Kodak and Amazon.com have a real winner here. ...

I didn't know low light photography was possible in 1950
I have used Tri-X Pan at EI 3200 and even 6400, developed in Rodinol. Tri-X was introduced in the 1950's, Rodinol in the 1890's. Such a combination produces low-light performance that is quite remarkable. Now we have T-Max 3200, which has much greater speed, but was not introduced until the 1980's. Grainy but forgiving
This film is classic stuff.A bit grainy, but extremely forgiving of questionable exposure times and screwy processing conditions and therefore great for a darkroom knucklehead like me.Plus, it's cheap and readily available; in this color-oriented day and age, few other B&W films are either.

Versatile High Speed Black and White Film
This classic Kodak high speed black and white film still holds its own against its newer competitors because of its versatility. It is one of the few films that can be easily pushed and yet still retain much of its shadow detail. However, it isn't the best; I believe Ilford HP5 Plus is better than Tri-X for shadow detail and contrast. And of course Kodak T-MAX 400 and Ilford Delta 400 are vastly superior with regards to shadow detail and contrast. Still, one can't go wrong using this high speed black and white film; a classic that is still worth using. ... Read more

Best Film Ever
When you want excellent color and great detail this is the film to use.

One of the Great Extremely Fine Grain Slow Slide Films
Fuji's Velvia RVP 50 was one of the pioneers in saturated color slide films, blessed with extremely fine grain, and a viable alternative to Kodak's venerable Kodachrome 64. This has been my favorite film for creating slightly saturated color photographs of landscapes and other scenic nature photography. I've had the good fortune of using this film primarily with my Contax SLRs and Carl Zeiss lenses, resulting in vivid, nearly three-dimensional photographs due to the impressive qualities of both this film and the Zeiss T* lenses. Sadly, this film is due to be replaced in the next few months by a faster version so those photographers who value slow speed Fuji slide film should stock on their current stock of this film soon.

When You Want Eye-Popping Colors, Use FUJI!
Fuji film's Velvia 50 is that company's finest grain slide film and to many photographers and viewers of images taken with this emulsion, the film became the standards for what colorful could be.Read more

Simply the Best 400 Speed Color Print Film Ever
This film is simply gorgeous.
a picture is worth a thousand oohs
This is great film, in the days of digital cameras it is so great to pick up a film camera and shoot a roll of this and be reminded how beautiful a real picture can be. The color is deep, vibrant, and rich. I wanted to see just how much we were really losing in digital (now don't get me wrong I love my digital SLR but...) and I set the tripod up with a 300MM pentax lens that had a screwmount for the tripod so lens and tripod stayed in place, shot a set of pictures of some roses with my ist* D and the shot some with my P30t and was just amazed when I got the film pictures back as compared to the digital prints from the same photofinisher. there was no comparison in the depth of color and how rich the tones and hues were. I sure hope we don't lose out on this great medium for the convience of digital.

Fast Film, Wide Range
... I would dare to say the photo-finishing lab has a lot to do with the results you see. I was horrified by one lab I tried recently. Incompetence in the lab can totally ruin your prized shots. As always, it's best to shoot a test roll or two and make sure you don't photograph anything you can't reshoot later. Test a new lab the same way, with photos that can be redone. Great film
I have used this film for years--with both my older point and shoot Cannon 135 Zoom and my current Nikon N65.The fact that it is a higher speed film makes it very versatile for all types of situations I shoot in--indoors, outdoors, low light, beach photography, fast-action sporting events, etc.I have not had a problem with graininess but I have not blown pictures up past 11x14 size.I have shot approximately 200+ rolls with this film and my lab has never had to color-correct my film.I wonder if some people who use this film and have had problems with graininess have more of a problem with their camera or photo processing lab than it is with the film.This film can be used in all types of situations and I will keep using it with confidence!

remember what this stuff is for
I'm a complete rookie as far as real photography is concerned.I went on a trip to East Asia with a bunch of rolls of film and and an old Nikon FM camera.I bought an FM3A in Taiwan as well, and with that camera I used the 800 speed MAX film.I made the mistake of using the film in scenes with lots of light and they came out very grainy, as people have said before.But that's not what this type of film is meant for.As anyone should know the higher speed film one uses the lower quality which is produced, though my comrades who used their P&S cameras thought the higher speed the better -- but that's because they can't change their F stops, which are usually higher than the more hip manual cameras.Film speeds are meant for different purposes.I used lots of 100 speed film and people were asking me "Why are you using such slow film?!"I replied that the lower speed the film the better quality.It turned out that the 800 speed film was among the last film I had before I bought 5 rolls of Kodak Gold 100 in Xian, China.I think the fastest film one should use is 400 speed film anyway unless you're using zoom lenses, which are pretty stupid anyway.I used a Nikon 50 mm f/1.4 lens, a Nikon 28 mm f/2 lens, and a Nikon 60 mm f/2.8 micro lens -- no zooms.So before we blast a product, lets remember what the purpose of this film is. ...
