I recently dug out an old (and one year past expiration) roll of 120
TMY to try. This was certainly no scientific test (particularly
given the outdated film), and I did not shoot any comparison rolls.
I had not shot any TMY since I stopped giving my film to the lab and
started developing it myself a couple of years ago, and I just wanted
to see what it looked like compared to my usual Delta 400. I've also
recently started using XTOL, which some fans of TMY particularly
like, so that was another incentive to test. So I shot the roll at
400, bracketing exposures, and developed for the recommended time in
XTOL 1:1.
I was impressed with the results. I feared nasty highlights (given
TMY's reputation), but didn't get them, even in challenging
sun/shadow exposures. The grain was minimal, less than I'm
accustomed to seeing with Delta 400. And the speed and sharpness
were good enough to make me want to experiment some more with fresh
film.
